We’re winning, but this lead does not feel the least bit safe against the Os.
Agreed. That friggin’ hit Yimi gave up didn’t help Yusei’s ERA 😤. Bigger picture, if Kikuchi has such a short leash 3rd time through the order (for whatever reason), that factors into his suitability as a starter in a 3-game playoff series
And there goes the lead. 4 inning game now. Reset and score more runs!
