Davis making contact and hitting the ball to LF. Eventually he'll get a base hit.

Davis has had a couple of decently hit balls but nothing to show for it yet.

These are mistake balls he would have crushed in the past.

HRs by Gleyber and Voit and the Yankees have tied the Nats in the 7th.  Is the Nats pen going to be a problem again like it has been for most of the past decade?

Are you sure, it is only a sixty game season.

Just noticed, there are no ballboys ballgirls on the field.

The most dangerous hitters vs LH in the Boston order are JD&X at #2&#4 in the order.  A clean inning here and LeBlanc wouldn't reach that part of the order I til a couple outs in the 6th or even the 2nd.

Well, so much for that.

[Il BuonO]

Not a horrible pitch there.... Pillar pulled his hands in. Tip your cap.

Nice pick Rio!

I know I've seen them in some games I've watched.

Also noticed that they do have someone manning the manual scoreboard in Boston with the line score of the game but they are not bothering to do the out of town scoreboard right next to it.  Was there a second guy in there doing the out of town scoreboard usually or did one guy do it all?
