Good starting pitching. Home runs. A solid bullpen effort. It’s nice, isn’t it? If only we could see it every game. Not that I’m complaining about a 29-16 record, but the bullpen disaster from yesterday is still fresh in my mind.
Kyle Gibson started off iffy but got stronger as the night went on. He ultimately pitched seven innings and was ready to turn the ball over to the team’s two most successful relief pitchers. Both Yennier Cano and Félix Bautista struggled compared to their typical pitching performances (Cano gave up a run! GASP!) but pulled through in the end.
