The offense actually showed up today, to the tune of nine hits, four walks, and three runs. In the field, we made some truly stellar defensive plays and exactly zero errors. All five of our pitchers not named Ian P. Kennedy put up zeros in every inning they worked. This one was very nice pretty much from start to finish. I’m actually very sorry that I didn’t get to see it.
Mets right-hander Carlos Carrasco faced off against Zac Gallen, who was making his first start of the year, and I was looking forward to seeing our putative ace-to-be on the mound for the first time in quite awhile, but alas, it was not to be as Bally Sports Arizona had decided to not be available down here in the Tucson metro area, so I listened to the action on the radio.
