| we do no leap headlong into second base because we have to; we do it because we must |
Vladdy leaping into second on a hustling double; George Springer diving to make a nifty, run-saving catch in right field; a double steal; three stolen bases for Whit Merrifield; the small-ball manufacture of runs generally . . . this game was just crisp, somehow crisper still than the 3-0 honey of a game the night before. José Berrios seemed disappointed to have been taken out of the game with two outs in the sixth, but he did a very fine job against an excellent lineup, their only runs coming on a two-run Marcel Ozuna home run a strike away from the inning's end. Yimi, Swanson, and Romano allowed just a walk and a hit (altogether!) taking it the rest of the way. Just a first-rate performance from a team that is looking a whole lot better than the louts that dropped two in Philadelphia! I am of course kidding; I never thought the guys were louts. I like the guys a lot.
