Runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs and neither Harper, Bohm, or Marsh could get a single run across.

Bases loaded with 1 out and offense fails again (Schwarber and Turner)

5 LOB in first two innings.

I know why, fundamentally, that Nola gives up HRs, but I still don't understand. Lol.

This lineup always slumps when they start thinking HRs rather than just getting the ball in play hit hard somewhere.

[BelmontShore]

Also? This team has a real hard time relaxing at the plate. Once they see some success, one big hit, then they start to loosen up.

Indeed. Seen this way too many times with these hitters.

[BelmontShore]

Turner. Boom.

Maybe now they'll relax.

See?

It was a bumpy six innings, but Nola only gave up a single run.
