Lagares

Called strike (92.3 mph sinker)
In play, out(s) (92.3 mph sinker)

Juan Lagares flies out to right fielder Aaron Altherr.

[LoneStarPhan]

Looks to me that Hoskins in taking a first pitch fast ball for a strike in most at bats of late. I think he may have 3 times tonight and in at least two of those at bats, that first pitch looked like the best pitch to hit in the at bat. He certainly seems to be struggling of late. I wonder if setting up for a first pitch fast ball might not get him some hits. Worst case would be down in the count 0-1, which he seems to almost always be of late.

[LoneStarPhan]

Yes, I know that Neris has racked up a bunch of saves, but he is not doing the job as a closer. Really sad to play 8 innings of outstanding ball and have it come to this.
