Vierling hits two-run home run
Matt Vierling went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a sac fly against the Cardinals on Wednesday. The homer was on a truly awful curveball from Miles Mikolas. That was the third hardest-hit ball of the game. His first-inning single was the second hardest at 109.9 mph, trailing only a Willson Contreras homer. Vierling has always shown ample power, but he’s lifting the ball more often this year and he’s off to a nice start at .282/.311/.447. The Tigers will likely want to keep him in the lineup regularly after Gio Urshela returns.
Soto hits triple in loss to Orioles
Juan Soto went 2-for-4 with a triple in a loss Thursday to the Orioles. A day after Soto stole two bases, Soto showed off his wheels again with his first triple of the season, and first as a member of the Yankees. Speed kills. Soto also singled and has forged an outstanding slash of .331/.441/.589 to begin his campaign.
