Boy do I like what I see when Quinn is in the lineup. In this era of launch angles it is fun to see how raw speed can impact a game.

Smoak

Called strike (93.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul tip (93.7 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (94.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (80.0 mph curveball)
Ball (79.0 mph curveball)
Ball in dirt (79.9 mph curveball)

Justin Smoak walks.

[LoneStarPhan]

Phillies do come up with some hits with RISP. Phillies score 4.

For those not watching, Alfaro laced a line drive toward right that Smoak caught, leaping and stretching to his left and just barely getting to the ball. The ball was hit hard and had 2 RBIs written all over it. Bad break for Alfaro, but Quinn and Hoskins picked him up, each getting 2 RBI hits later in the inning.

Now Pivetta walks the lead off hitter with breaking balls. I cannot express my disappointment in Pivetta pitching to the lead off hitter after being handed a 5 run lead. Had him 0-2, then 4 balls in a row, the last 3 curves.

[kikutaro]

Morales

Ball (95.0 mph two-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (80.0 mph curveball)
Ball in dirt (94.3 mph two-seam fastball)
Called strike (95.2 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, run(s) (80.6 mph curveball)

Kendrys Morales homers (20) on a fly ball to center field. Justin Smoak scores.

[LoneStarPhan]

Lead off walk just hands the Blue Jays an extra run.

And it's another curve ball. Doesn't he trust his fast ball?
