Good inning for Gibson. I hope he can close out the game. Sure would save stress on the bullpen.

[LoneStarPhan]

I'd run Gibson out for another inning but I will not second guess Thomson. He should really have more information than I do.

[kikutaro]

[LoneStarPhan]

At least Nelson didn't throw a wild pitch, but he did throw a couple that only a blind batter would swing at. Embarrassing for a ML pitcher to walk a batter with a 7 run lead.

[kikutaro]

Yordan Alvarez

Ball (97.7 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (97.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (97.1 mph four-seam fastball)

Yordan Alvarez flies out to center fielder Brandon Marsh.

[Aquapong]

Seems like Thomson is trying to distribute the innings between guys who have struggled recently. I wonder if we’ll see Hand to finish it off?

[el-pietro]

Seranthony is warming up for some reason.

[kikutaro]

Alex Bregman

Ball (90.2 mph slider)
Swinging strike (96.6 mph four-seam fastball)

Ball (88.3 mph slider)
Ball (95.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Alex Bregman walks. Jeremy Pena to 2nd.

[LoneStarPhan]

I have seen enough of Nelson. I hope he can get a scoreless inning, but he has not pitched well this inning.

Again, full count and he doesn't come close to the plate.

[kikutaro]

Kyle Tucker

Mound visit.
Ball (89.5 mph changeup)
In play, out(s) (96.5 mph four-seam fastball)

Kyle Tucker flies out to left fielder Kyle Schwarber.

Credit to Nelson for the scoreless inning, but he sure struggled. A 30 pitch inning.

[EastFallowfield]

That's 11 2/3 scoreless innings for the pen so far in the 2022 WS.
