Bard kinda running on fumes by the 6th. But the stats thru 5 were 2H, 1BB/7K. Got a little cute in the 6th by walking a lead hitter. Can't be doing that. Throw in the 2run bloop single it's like throwing rocks in the mirror.
Reports are he was 94-98 in the first 5, and 92-96 in the 6th.
Cut down the walks and save the pitch count and we could get a really good starter that is expected to go 6-8 innings regularly.
It was a very encouraging start today.
