Nice hit by Mullins.

(Honestly, I think he's lucky the ump missed a strike call) 

[PHRESH]

Adley follows with a single as well. Maybe we have a chance against JV after all!

This team reminds me a lot of the 2014 Royals right now

Let's chase this old man in the first inning.

JV is 8-0 with a 1.25 ERA in 10 games this year after an Astros loss.

….so, let’s get to him early!

Great job by Santander here just to stay alive.

Scored an E actually.  So the hitting streak isn't extended.   Yet.

But they were obnoxious jerks like Hosmer.  We are a lovable bunch of guys with a puppy dog catcher and a fun home run chain!

Lot of pitches….

Verlander just says .. oh really? Let me turn it up to an 11

And they would actually score.
