Kody Clemens just gets jettisoned back and forth from AAA and continues to get big knocks when he gets recalled. Respect.

Kody Clemens is the best Clemens.

Rob Thomson had high praise for Cristopher Sanchez after the lefty pitched seven solid innings. 👊 | @WapnerNewman pic.twitter.com/kjMbeFgsQb

Bryce Harper was removed from the game after getting hit by a pitch. Sounds like he escaped serious injury. But he was already banged up, so maybe this newest bruise will convince Rob Thomson to sit him for a bit.

This hit by pitch sent Bryce Harper out of the game

Hope he is okay 🙏 pic.twitter.com/48r26yzxt7

Rob Thomson on Bryce Harper:

“He’s fine. [The Elbow] was stiffening up. So it was more precautionary. I think he could have continued on if we really had to.” pic.twitter.com/JcCJpiQBXL
