We won't have to worry about how Tito will handle the same situation in Cincinatti. He let Tuesday's starter, Abbott, pitch a complete game en route to a 1-0 victory over the Guardians with 110 pitches thrown.
When you need every out you can get from your starters to keep the bullpen going. As I said with Joe Ryan yesterday, the kid has deserved a chance to go further.
Watching the Saints game now. and it looks like they scratched Keirsey Jr right before the game started. That may be our answer to who is taking Lewis's place on the active roster.
Lewis officially on the 10-day IL. Claim it's in a different spot and not as bad as his earlier hamstring injury. Probably for the best as maybe they will let him recover fully before coming back to the team.
And now we turn to SWR to keep us from a sweep in Houston. SWR did have a great performance last season on a Sunday afternoon in Houston, but that was last year.
