LMJ is the series closer, he doesn't need to pitch a 1 or 2 run game like the rest of the staff... He just needs to get out jams and not let this thing get out of control. So far he has done it. He will be out by the 7th inning... Edit just saw his pitch count... He will be out by 6th inning...
Battling is a good description of what LMJ did. He wasn’t good but we might just be spoiled by how phenomenal our other pitchers are. If the pen can keep up the previous work I still think we got this
McCullers battled through that outing. 5 innings, kept us in the game, I’ll take it. He was way off his game, but fought through it. Good effort.
Huge credit to Dusty for sticking with LMJ and to LMJ for figuring out how to get through despite not having his A-stuff.
