There were two good innings today. Let’s only talk about the two good innings.
In the first inning, Erasmo Ramírez got into a little bit of trouble, walking Joc Pederson to lead things off. A fielder’s choice moved him over to second and a grounder hit in the right spot brought him home. Not the best start for our young hero, but he ultimately emerged relatively unscathed.
It was the bottom of the inning, however, that really got things started. Mitch Haniger walked, his first of three. After a Cameron Maybin groundout, Robinson Canó hit an infield single, and Nelson Cruz brought Haniger in with a laser to right field.
