Guys, was that so hard?
All it takes is sharp defense, four home runs (two with runners on base!), and take-your-breath-away starting pitching, and you get a win. Even, dare I say, an easy win! (Or easy enough to give some rope to a few struggling relievers).
Let’s start by giving a shout out to the hitters, because we’ve certainly been down on them on many occasions. Curtis Mead, just called up to replace Yandy Diaz (who has been put on the restricted list for personal reasons), got three hits, including a run-scoring double for that all-important first run in the third inning.
