Day game alert!
Bryce Miller
vs
Joe Ryan
Another solid start wasted by the bullpen. The batters however did their part with seven runs.
This is Bryce Miller's rookie season. BA and MLB prospect rankings had him at the end of their top 100 lists at #100 and #98 respectively. 13 starts in and he's done well. 3.50 ERA (3.48 FIP) over 69 ⅓ innings. Almost a strikeout per inning and only 1.9 walks per nine for a 0.966 WHIP. In terms of results, it's very similar to Joe Ryan except Miller throws harder. He's a fastball/slider guy and he throws the fastball around 68% of the time. That should bode well for the Twins hitters if he misses with any of those fastball.
We just love pitching to Rodriguez for some reason...

Yeah, seriously, why?
There we go. Finally some earn back runs.
home runs by the home team are good
could use a little
meatRBIs in those HRsBryce Miller's previous high in home runs allowed was two, back on May 29 against the Yankees. Five times he gave up a single home run and zero the other seven games.
So much for a scoreless inning.
Consecutive scoreless innings for the M's and Julio not getting on base.
I'm assuming Twins aren't wearing their M caps this series?
They had the TC caps today.
Was at the game today with Niblet. Great seats, 2nd row on the home side, looking directly down the third base line. It was hot. They made it competitive at the end and I didn’t hear one complaint from my kiddo - he even received a foul ball from one of the attendants, retrieved from the dugout especially for him. I didn’t touch a game used MLB baseball until I was 33. He was appropriately ecstatic.
