Not the best outing from McGwire but still 13 Ks / 4 BBs in his early going at SB

I officially don't like how much first base Hartshorn is playing.

Rojas and Ayers went back-to-back.

Not quite as strong as last time but another very good outing from Will Sanders.  We're like three more of these away from it being fair to wonder if he should be in the big league rotation

Weird outing for Yander María. All 3 runs scored on wild pitches in the 2nd.

Considering he had a shoulder injury last season, I'm willing to give him a pass on playing 1B this year.

If he's not a regular OF next season, then I'll worry.

Also I think this resolves itself when Kepley gets promoted.

Would love to see a tick more on the fastball.
