Not easy limiting the kudos to five Buccos when so many contributed to the win, but that's why they pay me the big bucs, right? At least Neverauskas did his part to ease my decision.
5th Star: Rich Rodriguez pitched yet another dominant 9th inning. The current version of RichRod reminds of the guy we saw back in 2018.
4th Star: Tough choice, but will settle on Ke'Bryan Hayes mainly for the two-out triple in the 5th that got us on the board.
3rd Star: Kevin Newman drops to 3rd star despite the 2-for-4, the two-out RBI in the 5th and the lucky walkoff dribbler, because of that bobble in the 8th that let the run score.
2nd Star: Wehner said he'd have a big night and he was right. Josh Bell doubled and scored our first run with two outs in the 5th. Lined a clutch single in the 9th.
1st Star: He only lasted four innings, but they were shutout innings, and I'm going with Joe Musgrove for keeping us in the game when our offense had yet to awaken.
Tip the cap to Chris Stratton for 2 good innings of relief!
