Matt Strahm hasn’t given up more 2 ER since April 1st, and hasn’t thrown less than 6 innings in a start since April 13th. He’s been ridiculously good and the fact that his record is 1-2 shows you how much the bullpen has struggled this season.
In this one, Strahm went 6.1 innings, struck out 7 and walked only 1. He also gave up 2 ERs, 1 in each of the first two innings of the game.
Margot!
Sometimes it really is about making the big plays instead of the little ones, and Manny Margot was ready for this big play to rob a HR today:
That kept the game all tied up at 2-2.
