That was bad in so many ways.
Worst of which, Jesús Sánchez was hit in the wrist by a ball thrown from the stands. They are saying he has a contusion, which is pretty much the best possible news. It was weird. Apparently, a kid(?) or young person, thought that he could throw to Sánchez and it would be caught. But, Jesús had turned away and the ball hit his wrist. Unfortunate, but no one should be throwing things from the stands.
Spencer Miles has been so good. Today he wasn’t.
He went 3 innings, allowed 5 hits, 6 earned, 3 walks with 2 strikeouts. Not his day, but John had to leave him out to get some innings, as it was our second ‘bullpen’ day in three days.
Beyond that, Hayden Juenger didn’t have a great first appearance in the majors, giving up 2 hits, 3 earned, 2 walks in his inning of work.
Adam Macko (2 innings), Yariel Rodriguez (1) and Mason Fluharty (1) all put up zeros.
We had trouble with Kyle Bradish, who went 7 innings allowing just 1 unearned runs. We did get 4 runs off reliever Tyler Wells, but it was too little too late.
We had 8 hits and 4 walks. The big hit was from Yohendrick Piñango (in the game because of Sánchez’s injury), who he a home run that went 421 feet, scoring 3 of our 5 runs. Piñango, Nathan Lukes and Ernie Clement had 2 hits each. Sánchez and Charles McAdoo had one each.
No JoD today, but lets give Lips an honourable mention.
Other Award: Miles (-0.30 WPA).
Tomorrow is an off-day, which I’m sure we can all use.
