Caid Sanders battled all night working out of jams it felt every inning, and keeping his team in the game in some big moments. Fell just short with his stat line finishing with 5.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R (2 ER), 4 BB, 6 K’s. Sanders was 82-84 topping out at 85. Showing an occasional cut on his FB more than usual when we have seen him before. CB was 68-70 showing late bite, with a SL 71-73 that showed a 3/4 tilt with a consistent late bite. That was his put-away pitch this evening.
