So Lorenzen, great opportunity for him to maybe build a little confidence, get himself back on track a little bit. You figure a Chicago team that while they can be dangerous for a number of different reasons. One area where they have struggled and consistently struggled has been on the offensive side. Nice way to get things going if you're renen and he'll get a strike out on three pitches. Well, that was easy starting off the game here you get the breaking ball away. Great 02 location looks like it's going to be on the outer half of the plate breaks off of it gets three pitches first out of the game, a strikeout. Now the 12 and he struck him out looking be in, there's a second straight strikeout to start the game. Great job from Lorenzen here with the two seam fastball. Nice run on it. Good frame from Jonah Heim and Benin. He just looked very confused in that at bat up a little bit here. The 32 and that is strike three called right on the inside corner and that is a break for Lorenzen as he punches out Baldwin for the second out of the inning, Baldwin shaking his head, but this is a perfect pitch and with two strikes, a runner on third base, you need to pull the trigger there, but great pitch just catches the inside corner. Third time tonight that the Lorenzen has gone to three balls to a hitter and he strikes out f two away. That's what Michael Lorenzen does. Great in these situations. He able, he's able to locate offspeed pitches. You see that change up at the bottom of the zone or just below it, Tommy Pham out on that front foot. He gets sheet swinging another strikeout fifth of the night, another runner in scoring position off speed, great curveball here you see the 12 to 6 action and Jonah Heim getting the short hop scoop there. Lorenzen 22 pitch and a swing and a miss. He strikes out Benee great change up here from Michael Lorenzen is, this is three innings in a row where that leadoff guy has got to second base and, and Mike Lorenzen is really testing the runner in scoring position 02. And he strikes out fam seventh strikeout tonight as we talk about the offspeed pitches that have been getting strikeouts tonight.
