G56

Following a string of 8 consecutive good starts by the rotation, the Shires suffer their 3rd straight subpar start ... this time SP Sonny Gray got touched up for 6 ER in just 3.1 IP, and the bullpen followed suit with every reliever allowing a run to contribute to the blowout.

The offense struggled again with only Moore and Beltre driving in runs for StL.

Over the last 6 games, the Shires offense has averaged 2.7 RPG on 7 HPG.

* Edit: Oh year rookie LR Keifer Lord, off to a great start, goes down with a shoulder injury and will be out 8-9 months .... which means in NABO, he'll return after the All-Star break as the league resets injuries at (1) Opening Day, (2) After the ASB, and (3) at the end of the regular season.
