Before we begin I’d like to write about the injury Josh Naylor suffered during this afternoon’s game. He and Ernie Clement collided while converging on a pop-fly to right field. Team doctors carted him off of the field and paramedics transported him to a local hospital. Harold Ramirez helped a shaken Clement, hat over his face, back to the 3rd base dugout.
We hope to hear good news soon and wish Josh (and Ernie, too) a complete recovery.
Justin Garza debuted as a Major League Ballplayer today. He threw two and two-thirds innings of relief, striking out three and allowing only a solo home run to Nelson Cruz.
