It’s the middle of camp but not quite at the point where the games feel like too much of a slog. Although, Wednesday’s game ended 17-7 with a 90-minute rain delay. Johan Rojas hit a three-run home run.
Jesús Luzardo Looks Great
The six-run second inning against the Tigers was bad, but the prior three innings looked great (someone in the comments will have something to say about that sentence). The stuff looked sharp, there was plenty of swing and miss, and the velocity was great.
Against Boston, Luzardo sat 96.7 mph on his four-seam fastball, a tick and a half higher than 2024, and generated six whiffs on 13 swings.
