So, anyone wanna guess which position player will be pitching the 9th today?

I love being wrong sometimes!

Nothing about that matchup looked good on paper. Bullpen game against division team and we come away with a W. Gotta love wins like that.

Yeah! A great friggin' win today!

Nice job by Voth to get us 8 outs.

A good overall start by Lyles. Gutsy effort.

One out, bases loaded in the bottom of the second and Lyles induces a perfect ground ball to Odor that looks like a sure DP.   Odor makes a terrible throw that pulls Mateo off 2B and causes the relay to 1B to be late as well.   So now instead of the score being 1-0 and the inning over, it’s 2-0, bases loaded, and Juan Soto coming up.  In my mind, it was about to be 6-0 and game over.   But Lyles got Soto to pop out and got the next batter as well, so damage minimized.  And he was nails after that.  Great outing after a shaky beginning.
