Day game! All the better to make this a forgettable game.
Kenta Maeda
vs
Kolby Allard
Allard makes his season, and (second) Braves, debut. The Braves reaquired him in exchange for Odorizzi this past offseason. Allard was a first round draft pick, has a career 6.07 ERA (139 ERA- and 124 FIP-), and throws from the *checks notes* left side. He checks off every Jeremy attribute.
π
Allard finishes his day with 4.2 innings, two hits, eight strikeouts, and befitting a Jeremy, zero runs.
Lotsa Ks. Excel at what you're good at, I guess.
Kenta didn't go all that deep, but still not a bad start. Hopefully it's a continued sign he's back to competence on the mound again. If only he could bat...
You'll be surprised when the Twins hit three home runs in the ninth and win 3-2!
Of course, that would surprise me, too...
Only the second sweep against the Twins this season. Seems like the second just this week.
