[LoneStarPhan]

Nice win thanks to great pitching tonight.

Offense got runners on base but couldn't get the big hit to score many runs. Only one hit that counted, the two run home run from Schwarber. He had a big night with a double, homer, and 3 walks.

Enough of everything needed to win this game. Good start on the 7 game road trip.

[Patchmk88]

Good to win that one. We need to get the bats going starting tomorrow.

[LoneStarPhan]

Turner-Harper-Castellanos a combined 0 for 13 with only a walk to Harper tonight. That lack of production from what should be the productive part of the order just cannot continue if they are to have a good season.

Tonight, Stott-JT-Bohm-Marsh did fine (5-13 with 2 walks) and the walk to Marsh provided the needed second run on the Schwarber home run.

I am craving a big offensive breakout.
