Taylor Henry allowed a pair of hits in the eighth, but was able to get out of the inning unscathed. Adam Atkins recorded a perfect two thirds of an inning in the ninth.
I guess they want Rosario to have 3 BB every game for him to get the call up. I assume Nimmo wasn’t in the lineup bc of Lagares injury.
Paez’s power is surprising in this league where the power tends to be hard to do. So its great to see the display here, love to see where he will be in next 2 years as a 2B or maybe 3B.
