Good morning, Birdland!
Well, we were straight up not having a good time last night. Kyle Gibson was a dud, as was Keegan Akin later on. The lineup compiled just three hits and one walk, which amounted to one total at-bat with a runner in scoring position (they went 0-for-1). The only consolation was Anthony Santander’s solo homer and a few good outings from various members of the bullpen, including Josh Lester.
Yes, it was one of those games where a player that is paid to hit instead has to pitch. That’s rarely a sign that things are going OK.
