We lost. We walked a ton of guys, many of whom came around to score. We got one home run again from a young, recent call-up. That is all.
Starting Pitchers: Taiki Ono (3-0, 3.00 ERA) vs. Daichi Ohsera (4-2, 2.27 ERA)

Ono allowed a hit, a walk, and a beaning before giving up a 2-run double to their pitcher. ‘Nuff said.

Ono allowed a hit and a walk (four straight pitches to a guy trying to lay down a bunt) before hitting the showers. Marcos Mateo came in and gave the game to the Carp: hit, sac fly, walk, followed by three more run-scoring walks. Our bats took all of 17 pitches the rest of the way to record six easy outs. Back to sub-.500 life for the Tigers.
