STAT OF THE GAME
Loaisiga has posted scoreless outings in two of his first three starts in the majors. He went five scoreless innings in his MLB debut on June 15.
UNSUNG HERO
Austin Romine called an excellent game for Loaisiga behind the plate in his first start at catcher since Gary Sanchez was placed on the DL with a Grade 1 strain of his right groin.
M.I.A.
Greg Bird walked, struck out and hit into a 3-6-3 double play before being doubleswitched in favor of Neil Walker. Bird looks off, hitless in his last 14 at-bats.
