O, ye of little faith.

He did not have his much control or command and he got away with a few, but fortunately he got out of it unscathed.

Cedric is just killing LHP this year.  I love it!

Yes, he is. On the other hand, I hate to remind everyone but I'm sure glad that wasn't Verdugo out there in right field--he probably would have nabbed it.

Woah.  What happened?

Only seen the tweet from one of NYY's beat folks - I figure leftover hands from yesterday.    Had heard he said "all good" before the game, but that may just have been one of the cliches.     Superstars are routinely not allowed to be dinged.

Akin here is interesting but I guess Cano needs a break.

[Just Regular]

Homestate Keegan - let's go Western Michigan.

[Billy F-Face3]

I don't know that I would choose that style of mustache or fu manchu for myself. LOL Have a seat Mr. Butch Rodgers

[Il BuonO]

Akin has been much better of late.

Can’t get a 1-2-3

[Mooreisbetter27]

Nice inning regardless. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Let’s score a few more and let Akin get the last 3

[SteveA]

3.2 hitless innings so far from the bullpen

Close enough

[Jagwar]

Akin actually looking good and confident

 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Come on Joey! Let’s get another hit!

[Moose Milligan]

I'd love to see them get more runs and make Detroit burn another reliever.  Maybe we can get Akin to go two more and close this thing out and we're ahead in the bullpen race for this series.
