| that's a hundo |
On the first pitch he saw from Drew Rasmussen, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit the one-hundredth home run of his career, which, at twenty-three years old, makes Vladdy one of the youngest to get there, and if you add to that the qualification that one should also have one hundred career doubles (and why not, doubles rule), Vladdy is the seventh youngest ever, I believe I saw. All good stuff! Vladdy added an RBI on a groundout a little later, and that turned out to be all that was needed, as Ross Stripling pitched about as well you'll ever see him pitch (the only exception that comes to mind is the recent start in which he took a perfect game into the seventh against the Orioles). Bo Bichette continues to be the best or second-best hitter in baseball (remembering of course Aaron Judge), and added two more hits (one of them a double [doubles rule]). Things got ever-so-minorly ticklish in the Adam Cimber seventh, and even Yimi himself gave up a couple of hits in the eighth, but in fairness to Yimi, he also struck out the side (go, Yimi; go, Yimi). And then Anthony Bass! Who has really worked out! And that's a series win, regardless of what may come in the Kevin Gausman start. We will all, I am quite sure, take it.
