Gunnars out with that hand issue again? Lets hope this isn't a year long lingering thing...

I would hope that if it the type of injury that had any chance of having a year long lingering impact they would have put him on the IL.

What do you mean "again"?   The ball glanced off his glove and hand last night, and caromed right to Mateo who got the out at first.  So tonight is the first game he as ever missed with this issue.

[SteveA]

Adley goes the opposite way for a nice hit vs a lefty.   Mounty hits one a long way but Garcia runs it down (he's looked good in CF for Texas so far this series).

[SteveA]

Geez, 2 for our last 20 with RISP.   I've seen this movie before.   Come on Austin, deliver here.

2 for 21

Baltimore chop.  Wee Willie couldn't have done it any better.

Gunnar is out because of a hand injury?  Missed that.   I thought it was because he bats left handed.

could of swore he had wrist/hand issues in spring, guess it was someone else.

Maybe he did.   But he's out tonight because the ball went off his hand trying to field it last night and it's sore today.

[SteveA]

There's a hit with RISP!   Way to go Ryan.   Small ball inning.   Frazier walk, Mateo beats out a Baltimore chop, and 2 out RBI single by McKenna.

Heaney at 45 pitches already.

[justD]

McKenna trying for redemption. Wonder if he could ever throw one to home the way Duran just did, that would go a long way

And Cedric puts one down the line with 2 strikes to score another one!   

Keep it going!

[SteveA]

Oops, I lost track of the # of outs, thought it was 2.   Just one out.   We have a chance for a real big inning here.
