St. Paul Saints Vs Iowa Cubs 8-25-22 Louie Varland starting

[adorduan]

I attended this game last night. Here are my observations.Twins offense was pretty much non existent. 1 run on 3 hits for the game.Varland looked really good.There were a couple of long outs against him.His fastball was 94-95 to start the game and 93-94 in the 6th. 9K's and 1 walk, not to many 3 balls counts.His off speed stuff looked good too. 91 pitches, 62 for strikes. He left with a 1-0 lead. Sisk came in in the 7th and promptly hit a batter and walked the next. a bunt and a sac fly tied the game.Thornberg pitched 2/3 of and inning without issue.His fastball was 94-95.Peacock got the bottom of the 9th and I can't tell you what his stuff looked like because his 2nd pitch went about 430 feet on a rope.An absolute no doubter. One of the hardest hit balls I've ever seen at Principal park. Saints lose 2-1. Game took 2:19.
