I gotta say I’m kind of demoralized at the prospect of writing this one up, because aside from it being a different team and different players we were facing, I think I could kinda cut-and-paste last Saturday’s recap into this space, and it would be broadly accurate. Anyway.
Zac Gallen takes the mound against Kyle Hendricks. Both righties. Our righty has far better numbers this season than theirs. Gallen does his job, not as well as usual but still very, very, well. We harry Hendricks for the first three innings, making him throw a lot of pitches, putting runners on in every inning, but only scrape out one run to show for it.
