We only had 6 hits on the day, but they were grouped nicely. We scored:

Two in the first: Ernie Clement started the game with a double. Daulton Varsho walked. Vladimir Guerrero singled home one. And Jesús Sánchez got a sac fly.
Two in the sixth: Vlad led off with a double and Sánchez homered. Not crushed, 355 feet (only 5 more feet than Vlad’s) and 98.1 mph, but pulled down the right field line. The pitch was only 70 mph. Sánchez had a big day with three of our four RBI. And Vlad had a good day, 3 for 4, with a double. He would have had another double, hitting a ball in the ninth 109.3 mph, and 370 feet, but left fielder Angel Martinez made a terrific catch. Beyond that Yohendrick Pinango got a hit in his first MLB gam. He didn’t look over-matched at the plate. A bunch of guys had 0 fors: Daulton Varsho (with a walk, and two k), , (he’s looking lost at the plate) and Brandon Valenzuela. Okamoto made a couple of nice plays on defense. The reports that his defense was lacking appears to be wrong. On the pitching side, was doing very well until the fifth inning, went he gave up 4 hits (with a double play mixed in) and 2 earned. He had 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. And the bullpen did the job:
