I do not understand Jeffers not scoring there.

WTF?

I was curious they didn't pinch run for him.  We have two other catchers on the bench to come in for him.

Acuna has a cannon, and he threw out two guys right before the Twins series, so I'm guessing that's fresh in the Twins mind.

[S Bart]

Tigers lost and sox only a run ahead of the Cubs

[SE23]

Not a pitch to pull, Royce

How doesn’t Jeffers not score on a 2 out hit to the outfield?

Ball was blistered and Acuña has a cannon. Still felt a little weird

[Parfigliano]

Time for the Gomez tight rope act

[mrmpls]

Luke 2 hits -Bell 2 run dinger -Jeffers 2 doubles  ,  good to see top of order coming thru

[Tlaker]

Sure wish Royce could learn how to go to right field with that pitch on the black

Who gives AF?

2 outs. Base hit to the OF.

He HAS to score or get thrown out. Piss poor baseball.

[Rodney29]

Let’s get the leading lady as Bert often said.

Good to see TC score after the 1st inning

I agree, and yeah he would have been out, but I do agree with you.

[HarmonK03]

So Roden is taken out basically for Clemens, a utility guy.  If they don't trust his defense in the late innings in place of a utility guy, what is the rationale for this roster construction.

[ashbury]

Buxton looking good on that scamper home!

The Church makes the play!

[RpR]

Kreidler saves the day.

[Church of Kreidler]

Kreidler!! The grounds crew probably won't be happy, but I sure am!

That was one where you should try it. Jeffers didn’t look happy. Doesn’t make sense to me to not try to bury them with another run. Two outs. Go for it. If he beats you with his arm tip your hat. Nobody can say what would have happened as a fact. He could have thrown offline a bit. Might have beat him home even with a good throw. Lewis sealed the deal anyway. Hold on now pen.

That assumes an on target throw. But timing wise your probably right
