Irvin nearly 6 innings, 2 earned runs 0 walks, 6 strikeouts.
Bradish one cheap infield hit, 6 innings O runs 0 walks 9 strikeout
Grayson Rodrigues perfect thru 5, 2 hits, 2 runs 6 strikeouts
Corbin Burnes 7 innings 5 hits O earned runs 1 walk 6 K's
in this pitch count era, all of the starters pitched pretty efficiently never seemed to be in serious trouble the whole series. There were some tense moments, but all the pitching held up and just about everyone pitched well.
The best pitching performance in a long series this season. I realise the Rays are not exactly murderers row.....but that was impressive pitching.
We are getting a lot of time to savor Jacob deGrom ending last year with precisely half the career innings pitched total of Clayton Kershaw.
I dare the baseball gods to keep it in sync not by 0-0. It isn't out of the range of outcomes deGrom could throw 4 and Kershaw 8 or something like that.
This is one of the craziest ones in memory. Buehrle giving up 8 runs and 0 ER in 0.2 IP.

The baserunner no doubt should be unearned. But the batter that scores off a HR? That's the pitcher's fault. He could have hit a HR the following inning with the bases empty. In both cases it's a good swing and/or a bad pitch. Doing it immediately after a 2-out error shouldn't negate that.
You could maybe argue an edge case where getting out of the inning prior to him being pulled would have meant that he was never in a position to make a bad pitch, but in general I think that a pitcher shouldn't necessarily be absolved of *everything* that transpires after an error.
I don't think it's BS. Westburg called off Mounty on a ball that's caught 99.999% of the time and he flubbed it. Inning should have been over, it's a shame they can't charge the runs to the offending player.
