Losing to and learning from the Cardinals

[Ely Sussman]

Offishial News for 6/18/24

Thrilling game on Monday. Great starting pitching from Sonny Gray and Braxton Garrett (6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 93 pitches/67 strikes). The Cardinals took a 4-1 lead in the eighth inning, but Bryan De La Cruz immediately answered back with a clutch three-run home run. St. Louis took the lead for good when Masyn Winn drilled a two-run homer off of A.J. Puk in the 12th inning. Nick Gordon was thrown out at home in the bottom of the 12th representing the tying run. The Marlins lost, 7-6.

Down on the farm, RHP Jake Brooks and OF Andrés Valor were named Florida State League Pitcher of the Week and Florida Complex League Player of the Week, respectively. FCL Marlins won, 3-1. DSL Marlins lost, 7-5. DSL Miami won, 8-2.

Has Jazz ever reached based five times in a game before? Might be a personal high for him. He walked three times, which is normally a two game total for the entire team!

He did it just once before in early 2021, but that included an additional plate appearance and he was gifted a HBP. Also an extra-inning game.
