On Saturday, Eugenio Suárez put a great swing on a Jose Hernandez slider in a 1-1 count, rocketing the ball at 102.6 mph out to deep right center, where it was caught against the wall by Jack Suwinski. The normally sangfroid Suárez took off his helmet and yelled into it in frustration. That would be the furthest hit ball of the day, but it would go for an out all the same, one day after baseballs were flying out of T-Mobile Park with abandon.
It’s rare to see the even-keeled Suárez react in frustration, but it was understandable.
