2021 Week 3. (9-6)
L, (2-3) @ T-Mobile Park
We started the week by dropping the first game of an interleague series. It was a pitching duel in Seattle as, Strasburg four and McHugh for them, had great outings. Wander Suero was credited with the loss in spite of a good relief outing. Our offense could not figure out McHugh for most of the game and both are runs came thanks to solo shots by Trea Turner and Jason Castro.
W, (3-0) @ T-Mobile Park
We had our first shutout win of the year thanks to an amazing performance by Jameson Tailon. The pitcher from Texas went 7.2 innings, allowing just 4 hits and punching out 5. Keone Kela handled the rest of the game easily and we secured the second game of the series. Daniel Murphy and Christian Vazquez both went deep to get their second home run of the year.
W, (6-1) @ PNC Park
We won the opener against the Pirates thanks to a magic ninth inning. Trevor Bauer had a good outing as he went seven innings and allowed just one run. Kela and McGrath were great in relief and the offense of the Pirates was quiet in the final innings of the game. Juan Soto had a good game offensively going 2 for 4 with 2 RBI´s and clutch hit in the top of the final inning.
W, (4-1) @ PNC Park
The second game of the series featured Max Scherzer´s fourth start of the year. He worked for 6.2 innings and allowed just one run whilst punching out 9 rivals. The run came thanks to a home run by Austin Branes. In the 4th inning, Trea Turner went deep and was followed up by Adam Eaton. The bullpen was amazing and James Bourque recorded his first save of the year.
W, (7-4) @ PNC Park
One of the best games of the season so far. Juan Soto had his first home run of the year by going deep off Cody Bolton. We had a 2-run lead in the 8th when Givens and Suero gave up 3 runs to the Pirates. But in the 8th with 2 outs, Carter Kieboom had a heroic home run to take the game to extra innings. The relievers Guerra, Hand, Rainey, and McGrath were amazing and kept the Pirates hitless on extras. On the top of the 13th, Murphy had a 3-run RBI double to give us the win.
L, (2-3) @ PNC Park
We lost this one run affair in extras. Strasburg had another quality outing as he went six innings and allowed 2 runs. The runs came thanks to a 2-run shot from center fielder Travis Swaggerty. Daniel Murphy had a good game as he went 3 for 3 with 2 bases on balls. The bullpen kept the game tied until the eleventh when Bourque gave up a hit to Swaggerty who finally scored thanks to a single by Bryan Renolds off Givens.
