Very nice pick off of Heyward to end the inning. Segura made a great play to start off the inning. Yes, defense is important.

[LoneStarPhan]

While hits by Harper and Hoskins would be my first choice, I applaud their productive outs that produce another run.

Realmuto will add another with the hit we all like to see.

Both ways produce a run and we need to get runs both ways.

[bkeich]

If Neshek doesnt pitch today he is either a) hurt or b) in the doghouse for something that happened when he was warming up a few days ago. Unfortunately, since he went to the press with a bit of a statement I am guessing it might actually be the latter. If he isnt hurt we can't just hold a spot for him like this, they either have to use him or IL him as we already lost 1 game because we didnt have a competent reliever when we needed one.

Of course if Nola throws a no-no then ignore this statement

Looks like we will see Aaron Altherr some later this season. He has been claimed by the Mets and will be added to their active roster. Of course, he has to stick until we play the Mets again for that to happen. He didn't last long with the Giants.
