Sal is a stud!

A pal and a bud!

[kevinisaname]

Very nice second inning as well. He's suddenly throwing a bunch of sliders after only throwing one against ATL and it's working thus far.

[Zad Fnark]

Freddy averaging 13.5 pitches per inning.  I'll settle for that.

[HarryDoyle]

Freedy looking the best he's been for a few weeks.

[HarryDoyle]

I'll take a 1-0 win.

Skenes definitely settling in. Hopefully Peralta can keep rolling tonight.

Make him work and get him out there by five

Almost 20 pitches per inning though, don’t think he’ll make it very deep.  Just be patient, take some pitches, and get to their pen!

[kevinisaname]

Very quick third inning by Freddy. I love it!

[adambr2]

I’ve seen enough. Frelick > Paul Skenes

[HarryDoyle]

4-0 Jays.

[kevinisaname]

WILD BILL! Run scoring double.

[adambr2]

Not a fan of that Strike 2 to Collins, but can’t say we haven’t been the beneficiary of a few of them the other way tonight.

Hall of Fame pitchers all had opposing hitters that had their number. Maybe Frelick can be Skenes white whale.

[edfunderburk]

This is the Bill Contreras that I remember from the last few years

[kevinisaname]

Sal doesn't seem to be running all that well, but he scored there thankfully.

[MoreTrife]

Poor Sal is so slow right now 😭

Could score more too!  Skenes is a bum

[adambr2]

Guess maybe Bill didn’t need a long IL stint to get right after all.

Contreras finally showing up has been a game changer.    Now if yelich just ups it a tick we might go on a ten game winning streak 

[kevinisaname]

Really making him work...

[tomoohka]

Billy is really rounding into form
