Warpigs 5, Tweeners 0

Via NetPlay...

The Pigs were the Nad-substitute today, and the Tweeners weren't happy about it. Apparently he had a taste for Nads.

June 18 @ The BallPork - Warpigs win 4-3. Adrian Beltre hit a 1st inning, 2-run homer off of MadBum to give the Pigs the early advantage. The Tweeners fought back, however, taking the lead on 2 unearned runs in the 7th after Luis Severino booted one. But Aaron Judge tied it in the bottom half of the 7th with his 21st home run. Then in the 8th, after J.T. Realmuto doubled, Christian Yelich singled him in with 2 outs for the eventual winning run. Raisel Iglesias (4-0) pitched the 8th inning for the win, but it was an exciting one. Trey Mancini led off with a triple. After an intentional walk and an unintentional walk loaded the bases with no outs, Iglesias got Nolan Arenado to ground into a 5-2-3 DP. After yet another intentional walk, Kevin Millar struck out to end the inning for the frustrated Tweeners. Sean Doolittle struck out three in the 9th for his 4th save. MadBum took the loss, and Jonathan Schoop homered for the Tweeners.

June 19 @ The BallPork - Warpigs win 6-0. Jake Odorizzi (5-1) went 7.1 innings for the shutout win. Ryan Buchter and Pedro Strop finished up for him, with Strop getting his 1st save of the year. It was a fairly cheap save. He entered in the 8th with 2 men on and the Pigs leading 4-0. He struck out Justin Smoak to end the inning. After D.J. Lemahieu opened it up with a 2-run double in the bottom half of the inning, Strop cruised thru the 9th for the save. Realmuto reached base 4 times and scored 3 runs.

August 1 @ The Hoover Dome - Warpigs win 11-2. This one was over early. Judge, Realmuto, Joe Mauer, and Tommy Pham all homered for the Pigs, and Adam Wainwright (3-1) threw a complete game. Gerardo Parra and Scott Schebler homered for the home team. Ivan Nova took the loss.

August 2 @ The Hoover Dome - Warpigs win 12-8. Luis Severino started for the Warpigs, but gave up 4 runs without getting a single out. The Pigpen isn't really set up to pitch 9 innings, but they were equal to the task. The stars of the game, though, were on offense. Corey Seager led the comeback, going 4-5 with a homer, a double, and 4 RBI. Tommy Pham and Adrian Beltre each had 3 hits. In addition to Seager's long ball, Pham, Judge, and Roberto Perez went yard. For the Tweeners, Trey Mancini went 3-4 with 2 doubles and a homer. Raisel Iglesias (5-0) earned the win.

August 3 @ The Hoover Dome - Warpigs win 11-4. The Pigs completed the sweep, hammering Blake Snell and company for four more homers by Judge, Pham, Beltre, and Perez - all repeat offenders. Designated hitter Adam Wainwright (yep) went 2-3 with a triple. Jacob deGrom (5-1) was the happy recipient of the barrage. Trey Mancini, who was on fire the whole series, hit 2 more homers for the Tweeners. All four Tweener runs in this game were solo homers.
