The underlying peripherals are all pretty good. His FIP and xFIP are around 3.3. But his stuff is getting smoked. The good news is that his ERA is finally under 5. That might be the first time that's happened since May.

Great defense that inning.

LETS GOOO

TA just flipped that over to 1B like it was nothing.

Leury won't hit like this all year. Just enjoy this while we can. We still need someone like Escobar. Leury can fill in in the outfield and 2B. It's never bad to have a lot of depth.

Damn, I thought that was gonna drop for Billy too.

Leury's OPS is now 1 point under .700. What are the odds he finishes the first half with a wRC+ over 100?

There's a Billy chant going on. Amazing.

Leury again!

I gotta wonder why pitchers, especially left handed pitchers, would give Goodwin anything to pull. He really doesn't hit the ball with a lot of authority to the opposite field. You're pitching to his strength by busting him in.

He went in like a torpedo.

Goodwin with another hit and RBI.

The O's have to be tanking on purpose if they started Eshelman over Akin. Akin is miles better.

It's definitely tough to see right now cause of the shadows. Jose just chased a high one too.

Oh no, that's awful. Just saw it, he probably tore his ACL.

Nice job by Burr

Leyba's had 2 of those hits so far. Lucky bastard.

What an at bat by Urias and what a pitch by Burr.

Just gotta avoid the big inning here.

There was no good reason to keep him out there after he almost gave up a 2 run homer.

He's completely lost it.

Yeah take him out.

At 93 pitches, you gotta go get him if he allows another base runner.

Lucas looked a bit bothered after that last pitch to Santander.

I almost wonder if a strong wind blew in just to knock that ball down. Mullins looked like he gave up on it.
