He was 2 for 3 with a homer, walk, 2 RBI and a number of nice plays at third. The home run, like yesterday’s was crushed to dead center, 425 feet, 108.9 mph. Just a terrific day for him. But Kevin Gausman was pretty good too. 6.2 innings, 6 hits, 2 earned, just 3 strikeouts, but no walks. Few things hit hard off him. He came out at 91 pitches, after giving up a home run and a hard hit line drive out. He likely could have stayed, but after a couple of hard hit balls, and a lefty coming up, I was good with the switch. Mason Fluharty got the third out. Tyler Rogers had a quick eighth, with the help of a couple of nice plays by Okamoto, He gets such weak contact that infielders are going to have to make good plays for him. , on the other hand, didn’t have a quick ninth. It went fly out, single, single, double (run scored, Varsho almost made a great catch, but had it go off his glove), walk (bases loaded), strikeout (on eight pitches), and strikeout (on five pitches). Just your routine 30 pitch save. Offensively? Well, they did enough. I’d have preferred more than enough, but that’s me. 10 hits, and 3 walks, it would have nice to have more than 5 runs. We scored:
