In an early TL;DR, here were the best parts of today’s game: Kevin Kiermaier tried to imply a centerfield catch by Brett Phillips hit the ground. It did not, and Phillips gave KK a cheeky “oh no you don’t” finger wag. The very next inning, Carlos Gomez made a bonkers catch of his own, flipping over and bouncing up as if to say “Yes, you DID see that correctly” then swaggering back to his position holding up a one-out finger.
Jake Bauers busted out of his slump with a hit in the third, and pointed excitedly to the dugout.
