Recap in BMets gifs after the jump:

            Kyle Johnson led off the 1^st inning with a double down the 3B line that would bounce off the sidewall.

            He would score when Matt Clark walked with the bases loaded on this close 3-2 breaking ball.

            With Rylan Sandoval on 1B and one out in the 2^nd, Kyle Johnson hit this single up the middle.

            Brian Burgamy drove them both in with this 3R-HR.

            Plawecki had one hit on the day, this single into shallow LF after the bomb.

            Bowman had a very strong and effective start; here are his first four strikeouts:

Jake Lowery strikes out swinging.

Francisco Lindor strikes out swinging.

Anthony Gallas strikes out swinging.

Alex Lavisky strikes out swinging.

            Brian Burgamy would add another 3R-HR in the 6^th.

            Bowman would add three more strikeouts before exiting after 7 IP:

Anthony Gallas strikes out swinging

Tyler Naquin strikes out swinging.

Alex Lavisky strikes out swinging to end Bowman's night.

            Plawecki reached on a throwing error in the 8^th, which allowed two runs to score, and then Clark hit this double off the CF wall to add two more runs in the 8^th.

            Taijeron would lead off the 9^th with this solo shot on the first pitch from Bryan Price. You can see where it got stuck in the batters eye behind CF.
