The Glendale Desert Dogs’ losing streak now stands at seven games.
The next time the shortstop came up was in the bottom of the third. With two outs and a runner on first base, Kasevich hit a hard lineout, which unfortunately found a glove for the third out of the inning.
By the time Kasevich came to bat for the third time, the Javelinas exploded for 11 runs, putting the game out of reach. That didn’t stop Kasevich from having a strong plate performance, walking on seven pitches after falling to 0-2 in the count. He was initially left stranded.
Kasevich’s last plate appearance came in the bottom of the eighth inning. With runners on first and second, the shortstop flew to center field on a 3-2 count to give the Desert Dogs their second out. Both runners stranded and the Desert Dogs had only one baserunner left in the game.
Sauer, who was on the shelf all season, threw 22 pitches, 11 of which were four-seam fastballs. His heat maxed out at 90 mph and sat in the low 90s. The Jays’ 15th rounder in the 2023 draft also generated four whiffs on eight total swings, good for a 50% whiff
Peterson maxed out at 90.9 mph with the fastball, but was around 90.7 mph with his heater. The left-handed reliever threw 23 pitches, 17 of which were fastballs. Overall, Peterson generated three whiffs on eight total swings, good for a 38 percent whiff.
The Desert Dogs will look to snap their seven-game losing skid on Sunday night as they host the Salt River Rafters at 8:00 PM ET.
