IGT Game 5 Senga hooks some Marlins 6:40 SNY

[ashie62]

I'm eager to see how well Senga has recovered. Big start for Kodai

Lindor 6
Soto 9
Alonso 3
Nimmo 7
Vientos 5
Winker DH
Torrens 2
Acuna 4
Siri 8

Senga 1

Acuna gets the start against Sandy Alcantra, a righty

[Frayed Knot]

Alcantara, who was voted by teammates to be the Marlin least likely to still be a Marlin by the 1st of August, pitched on OD vs Pitt: 91 pitches 4.2 IP; 2R; 2H; 4 BB 7K
It was his first action since 9/3/23 as he missed the remainder of that year and all of '24 with UCL surgery and recovery.

[Gwreck]

I was hoping the Mets would have traded for Alcantara before this game. Maybe before his next start against the Mets next week.

Senga needs to be healthy. Manaea had a setback, inflammation and won't throw for at least two weeks.

[ashie62]

Senga not off to a good start

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo is.

[kcmets]

NimmBOOMbah!!

[Frayed Knot]

I was hoping for the Senga/Senger battery, but I guess Torrens is on such a torrential run right now that Mendoza chose to go with that semi-homophone pair instead.

[MFS62]

Down 4-2 on 2 unearned runs.
But that deficit looks like it might as well be down by 10.

This game is kinda sucking!

[DocTee]

Vientos not exactly busting it out of the box there.

I fear an Alvarez-like (Alvarezian?) regression this year from #27.

[Cowtipper]

Looking weak today.

[Frayed Knot]

Three perfect innings by Kranick on 22 total pitches!!
Now if only the rest of the team didn't collectively decide to suck and hitting and fielding tonight.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Polar Pete avoids the double play. Yay

Or as they sometimes say, rallye.

Tough night for Senga. Big E-6s by Lindor reallly screwed up an otherwise strong outing.

[Frayed Knot]

The first error didn't hurt thanks to Torrens's caught stealing. Real nice tag by Acuna btw on that CS. Not quite Ordonez/Baez level, but purdy darn good.

Thought Senga was going to get past the second Lindor E-6 too. He got the next two outs but then went: BB - 2-RBI 2B
Pretty good game overall but that 2-out 2B and the early 2R HR were both shots and they did him in.
