Eugenio Suárez left Wednesday's game in the 8th inning after he was hit by a pitch on his left hand against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bobby Nightengale, Cincinnati Enquirer
What if the pitch from Clay Holmes had broken the hand of Eugenio Suárez?
Suárez asked Holmes directly if Holmes threw at him in the eighth inning of a 7-1 game Wednesday. Holmes said no. Suárez was OK with that.
Who knows?
Logic suggests Holmes was being square. Pirates up six late in the game. What’s the point? But logic doesn’t always rule when the Cincinnati Reds play the Pittsburgh Pirates.
