Carlos Lagrange’s command was off today. He walked 5 in 3 1/3 Innings of work. Generated 6 Whiffs. He hit triple digits several times, topped out at 101 MPH. The 2nd Inning saw him weave in and out of danger as he walked 3 batters but escaped unscathed.
Jasson Dominguez sat for the 2nd consecutive LHP SP. (FYI: Could be a be coincidence, but in the Wednesday game, he was wincing and shaking his hand after his 3rd AB. So maybe he’s nursing the wrist/hand)
