He was not at his best.
He hit a couple of batters.
He gave up one run on a 1-2 pitch.
It was as fat as can be.
And Junior Caminero took it out.
And so...
At that point, they were down 1-0, but back two home runs for the USA team.
One against Gregory Soto, who's a Pirate newcomer.
It was against Roman Athle.
Turned out to be the game winner.
Prior to that was Gunnar Henderson.
But the key to this was the pitching.
The USA just had tremendous pitching against a stacked DR lineup.
There's no question about that.
Not only did Skeens go four in the third one run, no walks, two strikeouts.
David Bednar got out of a second and third jam with a strikeout.
And then after that, it was the ninth inning.
And a very controversial, I suppose, ninth inning here where Juan Soto, I'm sorry, it wasn't him, it was Perdomo who was out.
And Mason Miller, say what you want about some of the closers in the game.
Nobody right now is better than Mason Miller.
