Post 2020 Week 12. (35-36)

We won the first game of the home series against the San Francisco Giants. We faced Gerrit Cole, who has been really struggling in his new team (A season ERA of 6.27). We scored two runs against him thanks to a Rio Ruiz scoring single in the third and a Tim Anderson run-scoring double in the fifth. Martin Perez has a good outing as he went seven innings, allowing seven hits and one run. He struck out seven players. Tommy Eveld had a two-inning save. Kike Hernandez will play as the starting center fielder and Victor Victor Mesa will start at right field for the next few games.

Caleb Smith was rolling in the second game of the series but in the 8th inning, Sean Murphy connected a 2-run homer off him. That was enough for the Giants as the won by 2 to 1. Our run came thanks to a run-scoring single by Tim Anderson in the fifth inning. Our offense outhit the Giants but was not able to produce some runs. Julio Urias had a clean outing, he has been amazing since been claimed from waivers, his season ERA is 1.64.

Some bad news as our second round supplement pick has decided to reject our offer and continue with his college education. In the third game of the series, we had another shutout win. Zac Gallen had his best game of the season as he went 7 innings allowing just 2 hits. Sandy Alcantara finished the game with 2 perfect innings (no base runners). The offense rallied behind Trey Mancini who went 3 for 5 with a homer and 5 runs batted in. Melky Cabrera started at right field and also had a good game, going 2 for 4 with a couple of doubles and RBI“s

In spite of a complicated outing by Dallas Keuchel, we managed to win the series finale. Keuchel gave up three runs in the first (a Buster Posey three-run homer) but found his groove as he went 6 more innings without allowing a run. At the top of the 7th, he gave up 2 more runs and was replaced with Sandy Alcantara who had 1.2 clean innings of relief. Julio Urias, who is now the closer, was in charge of the last three outs, which he got easily. Jorge Soler was money on the offensive side as he had a 3 run homer in the 6th. Bad news as he was involved in a brawl and was suspended by MLB for two games. Austin Slater and Scooter Gennett also had homers.

We“ve traveled to Baltimore for a new interleague series. This time we faced the O“s and won the first game of the series. The game finished with a score of 7-5. Yamamoto was our starter and went 5 innings allowing 2 runs. Keller, who has been really struggling later, came in relief and allowed 3 runs in an inning. Nevertheless, the offense scored 3 runs on the top of the 7th and Bautista, Eveld and Urias closed the game. Austin Slater and Scooter Gennett had their second game in a row with a homer. Tim Anderson had a solo shot on the top of the 8th inning.

It“s turning out to be a good week for us, as we beat the Orioles by 8 to 4. Martin Perez went 6.2 innings and allowed three earned runs in 10 hits. Mike Mahtook had a two-homer day for the Orioles. Nick Anderson had a 2.1 inning relief appearance and was credited with the save. Kike Hernandez had a great game, he went 2 for 3 with a 2-run homer and a base on balls. Rio Ruiz also had a great game, his final slash line was 4 PA, 3H, 1 BB, and 1 RBI.

We“ve swept the Orioles after another great shutout and blowout win. Caleb Smith and Sandy Alcantara were the two pitchers on the game. They allowed only 5 base runners in the game and struck out 11. Mike Ford, Tim Anderson, Scotter Gennett, and Will Smith had homers. It was the best week of the season so far as we had a record of 6-1. The first and fifth picks of the draft have agreed to sign with us and will join our minor league system. After the game, we“ve made another roster move, Kyle Keller was demoted to AAA and Riley Ferrell finished his rehab assignment and is back to the active roster.
