Cesar Hernandez called out on strikes.
So now they shift for Hernandez. I would think he would be a hitter who could adjust and put balls into left field but of course, he has to put the ball in play to do that.
Hoskins

Williams, N
Foul (88.8 mph cutter)Swinging strike (89.6 mph sinker)Called strike (91.7 mph sinker)
Nick Williams called out on strikes.
Two called third strikes and a liner to the wall in center field.
Hoskins keeps hitting balls on the screws. He’s bound to go on another mini-tear sooner or later.

David Peralta called out on strikes.
Both teams unhappy with some of the called third strikes.
Both teams have line of 0-2-0 after six innings.

Carlos Santana grounds out, first baseman Paul Goldschmidt to pitcher Zack Godley.
Not surprising. This ump’s strike zone has been woefully inconsistent. In Rhys’ last at-bat, he called two pitches whose locations were similar a strike and a ball, respectively. All that said, neither team seems to be able to hit with men in scoring position.
Cabrera, A
Called strike (81.7 mph knuckle curve)Ball (89.0 mph cutter)In play, no out (89.0 mph cutter)
Asdrubal Cabrera singles on a line drive to center fielder Jon Jay.

Odubel Herrera triples (3) on a line drive to center fielder Jon Jay. Asdrubal Cabrera scores.

Still, there were no runners in scoring position.
