Gone Again

Hector Neris was sent to the minors on June 18 on merit. He was recalled from the minors on June 25 due to necessity. He's back in the minors as of this afternoon. Why? He earned it. He stinks like feet.

Neris was brutal last night. How brutal? Let's relive it, shall we?

- Brian Goodwin hit Neris' first pitch of the ninth inning out to deep right center (408 feet). Out as in home run.
- Michael Taylor lined out to left.
- Trea Turner hit a line drive single to left.
- Bryce Harper walked.
- Anthony Rendon struck out swinging.
- Juan Soto crushed a ball to deep center (419 feet) for a 3-run homer.
- Mark Reynolds homered to left, a 449-foot shot.
- Wilmer Difo struck out swinging.

So that's 5 runs on 4 hits (3 homers), a walk, and a strikeout. All that on 24 pitches. I have a feeling we won't be seeing Hector Neris doing Hector Neris things for quite a while. And that's a really good thing.
