Needed a win today. Solid pitching and five double plays. Bullpen looked very good. I really am happy for Romano. They need him to be effective. I loved Alvarado not having a ball count to any hitter over one. Last time he got it done but threw too many pitches and seemed to run a full count to everyone he faced.
I was unhappy seeing them getting runners on second and third to start the 8th, and the having Kepler, Realmuto, and Bohm strike out. They just have to add at least a run there. Fortunately, they didn’t need it today, but many times they will.
Going for the series win Sunday afternoon.
