ON the MOUND
Well, way to finally give the BP a rest ~ Tai ain’t messin’ ’round . . . .
NINE innings ~ ONE hit ~ ONE earned run ~ ONE walk ~ ELEVEN strikeouts

hot bats

AT the PLATE
The only TWO guys to not get a hit, still contributed: Ketel walked and scored (in his major league debut) and Brad hit TWO sac flies

~ Nellie is on FIRE: 4/5 including a double and his 27th homer
~ Mark with another TWO hits and TWO RBI
~ AJ and Jesus also with TWO-hit games each with an RBI (Jesus, his first homer of the season)
~ Zu extended his hitting streak to TEN games

IN the FIELD
* Brad had an error
* Jesus seeming serviceable at 1B: NINE put outs (filling in while LoMo is day-to-day)
* Ketel only had THREE put outs: usually, they didn’t find the “new” guy early – two in the 8th, one in the 9th (filling in while Robbie is day-to-day)
