Griffin Jax , too, was boarded by Rocco Baldelli. He was brought in to face the stronger hitters, however, it never worked out as planned.
About the game, Griffin Jax said:
“I know he'd been struggling on fastballs up pretty much all series,” said Jax. “Maybe he was over it and ready to get on top of a pitch like that. I'll go look at it in a little bit and see if I got it to the right spot, but you can't really second-guess yourself. It's over.”
Meanwhile, catcher Ryan Jeffers said:
“You don't want to lose that type of game, You can't lose that type of game. But we’ve got [Kansas City] tomorrow. We’ve got three night games against K.C., which will be nice, good games to get up for, get excited for. This early in the season, really the whole season, you can't linger on [things] like you can maybe in other sports. … The crazy thing and the reality of baseball is you've got a game tomorrow, so stewing on it is not going to do any [good].”
