2022 Game Twenty-Seven: Guardians 6, Blue Jays 5

 

turnin' it

A rainy, cold, fairly miserable night, by the end of it, and José Berríos did not have his best stuff, and yet there were certainly things to enjoy, like for instance Vladdy's utter rocket to left in the top of the first inning; later, the first home run of Alejandro Kirk's season; and the first home run of Steven Kwan's career. All nice things! Also it is cheering to see Bo Bichette go three-for-five with a couple runs scored, which is much, much more like it. I will note too that both Casey Lawrence and Trevor Richards pitched well in relief. But a long night (though only four-and-two-thirds innings) for Berríos, and seemingly for pretty much everyone, actually, all bundled up against the wind and the cold and the rain. How could you even keep score without getting your scorekeeping book all soaked? Frankly you couldn't. There's just no way.
