Pretty routine at bats for Howard and Brown off thge lefty Maholm in the first. RyHo going the other way on a first pitch opposite feild ppop single, and Brown goes 0-2 on a couple curves before grounding to Freeman.
This could be a challenging afternoon. McCarhy’s on assignment, meaning he’s actually working, I guess, and after one inning of Sarge hyperventilating, I’m hard pressed to decide if this might not be worse than 4 quarters of either King Hill or Mike Boryla with him “working” all 9 innings.
