Interim supervisor Grady Sizemore eventually ended early to handle his inning count.
“He was quite irritated when I came out there, however I believe he understands the circumstance and what we’re attempting to do,” Sizemore stated, per the Associated Press. “He tossed well. He was on, he had great things. It’s going to be difficult when he’s on a brief leash like that and a pitch count, that he’s never ever going to get to go as deep as he desires.”
The bats were eventually not able to get anything going, which squandered a quite strong day from the pitching personnel. The 2 hits summoned originated from Gavin Sheets and Miguel Vargas, neither of which led to anything beyond a single.
The loss formally makes this dreadful season historical and the franchise will have significant choices to make following the season.
