Last night’s game in brief sentences:
- Ian Kennedy had a strong start, both his plus command and plus change showed up!
- A-Rod got a lot of hits, even one out of the park.
- The bizarre crippled lineup provided more offense than the powerhouse has so far.
- The bullpen is tired and it showed last night, except for Traber who just hasn’t been utilized very often. I don’t expect Bruney to explode like he did last night very often, he has been having more success with his command since he decreased the velocity at which he throws his fastball.
- Hopefully Cano’s big hit last night will snap him out of this slump he’s in.
