Yeah, he should have been swinging. Liked his chances for a hit better than Dubon.

Damn.

Nice play.

Damn. Good swing by Dubon, but a nice play by Vierling.

Very much a “the other guys get paid, too” play to watch.

Hope Hinch doesn’t challenge that out at 1st
umps probably overturn.

T6:

Blanco takes the pill

Vierling, who made the great play to end the last inning, strikes out swinging
McKinstry grounds out 3U
Haase strikes out swinging

Nice inning by Blanco. 4-4

Blanco has some good stuff. Impressed by him in his first couple of outings.

Vierling is a very good outfielder.

Back to work, bats

Yordan asking for time, ignored repeatedly by HP ump

That’s working the new rules to your favor

He already asked for time once this at bat. He doesn’t get a second one.

Oh ok I missed that

A swing of beauty.
