Not perfect. A batter reached on a dropped 3rd strike and was then erased trying to steal.

He did it. Had a 1,2,3 ninth. 113 pitches with 12 Ks

I loved Ben McDonald's description of a "Bugs Bunny changeup" for Means.

Lefty was 11th rd draft pick from West Virginia U in 2014. Was a fringe prospect in the minors but was a pleasant surprise as rookie in 2019 (12-11, 3.60 ERA). Didn't look good in short 2020 but has improved velocity to mid 90s and added a good changeup. Excellent control.

Robbie must have submitted a question for the post game PC. "What does a game like this mean to you?"

Means will never forget Cinco de Mayo!
