Wins by pitcher’s may be overrated, but it’s certainly nice when you get ’em – Tyrell Jenkins got his first major league victory tonight, as he held the Phillies at bay during multiple key moments.
When you look at his pitching line, Jenkins lasted 91 pitches and 6 full innings. The 4’s were wild in his hand as he struck out 4, gave up up just 4 hits, but also yielded 4 walks.
One of those free passes was intentional – and useful as a force play was cashed in to end an inning.
