Game 9 Thread: April 4 @ Phillies, 3.45p

Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1-0, 2.70) vs. Jesús Luzardo (1-0, 3.60).

Jesús Luzardo only lasted five innings in his first start (vs. Washington 3/29), giving up two ER and five hits--but struck out 11. That's almost as many Ks as Yoshinobu Yamamoto has (14) in two games and 10.0 IP.

Max Muncy and Andy Pages are probably good for at least two Ks each. So it's up to the rest of the order to see if they can pound out some hits at Citizens Bank Park today and extend this undefeated start to the season.

Freddie on the 10-day IL, retroactive to Monday. I think this means he can't play in any of the six games on this road trip (3 @ PHI, 3 @ WSH).

Philly wearing the City Connect unis, and already up 1-0 on the Dodgers

Harper can't hear the in-game mic'd up feed.

Six-pitch inning by Luzardo there. He's at 39 pitches through three frames; Yoshi is at 30 through 2.

Steve Sax said...

Nice K by Yoshi on Marsh there.

Steve Sax said...

And just after I write that last comment, Yoshi walks Schwarber and then wild pitches him over to second. Great.

Steve Sax said...

Harper walks with two out. Phils on first and second. Bohm up.

Steve Sax said...

Bohm lines to Pages in center for the third out. Yoshi at 53 pitches through three.

yoshi going 4 innings today

Dodgers go 1-2-3 in the fourth. And this time, it's Mookie, Tommy, Teo. Ugh

spank said...

too many interviews.

Steve Sax said...

1-2-3 again in the fifth. Luzardo has retired 12 straight Dodgers and we look like shit.

1-0 PHI, mid-5

Pages is a little dangerous on the base pathes and not in the good way

Steve Sax said...
