| he got this one! okay! |
José Berrios was pretty much in La Makina-form Sunday (and has been much of the season, really), which probably mattered to him extra on account of pitching in Minnesota, which he used to do pretty much all the time (or at least half of it, I suppose): no runs on four hits (though five walks isn't none) in very nearly six innings will do it! Richards, Swanson and Romano took it the rest of the way, and all run-preventionism was helped on this day by some fine defense, much of which came from Daulton Varsho, who made an important leaping catch at the wall, and also threw a guy out at third with his really very good arm (he was a catcher!). Varsho also performed the rare feat of scoring from first on a single, though we must qualify this still-neat feat by noting that the batter-runner in this instance was Alejandro Kirk, who lofted a little Texas-leaguer with a four-percent hit probability into shallow-most centre, and for whom the hustle double does not exist (or perhaps for whom all doubles are hustle doubles?). In any event: scored from first on a single! Way to go!
And now back home for Milwaukee, which means the great gift of the great Bob Uecker on the (pretty great) MLB Radio service you can get through computers / phones / computer phones. As a Blue Jays fan, you only get so many games called by Bob Uecker. Let us treasure them, and him.
