May 5-7, 2028: vs LA Angels (3)
Game 1: 9-0 W. WP-Orze (1-2, 6 4 0 0 1 6). Eric Orze, whose rotation spot was in jeopardy, pitching himself a reprieve today with his best outing of the season while Wander was 3-5 with 2 RBI and Wood added a 2-run double to help rout LA.
Game 2: 3-8 L. LP-Swanda (2-4, 4 8 6 6 3 7). Swanda's record is misleading as most of his losses have come due to a lack of support but today he was just bad despite all the Ks. Wander had a 2-run double on which he injured himself, suffering back spasms.
Transaction: As Wander's back spasms are moderate for a week, he was ILed and Brooks Lee called up from Durham to back up Jeremiah Jackson who'll take over at short in the interim.
Game 3: 6-0 W. WP-G.Rodriguez (5-0, 7 1 0 0 0 10). HR-Albies (8), Cartaya (6). Grayson was utterly dominant again today and now leads MLB in pitcher WAR with 1.7 while Albies (was 3-5 with 3 RBI) and Cartaya slugged 2-run homers in a 4-run 3rd which broke the game open.
Team record: 19-13, first by a game over the Yankees. Next up: The lengthy homestand continues with 4 against Boston.
MLB News: A couple of pitchers received bad injury news as the Cubs' Devin Williams tore his UCL and Seattle's Sixto Sanchez broke a bone in his elbow (against us in the previous series) and will be out 4 months.
