Swing staff looked sharp, despite trading away Edward Cabrera and Ryan Weathers in the offseason. Sandy Alcantara dominated the opener, with 7 innings on just 73 pitches. One run allowed. Europe Perez followed with 7 strong frames and 8 strikeouts, while Max Meyer bounced back for 4 scoreless innings on Sunday. Rookie Owen Casey, the big piece from the Cabrera deal with the Cubs, exploded right away. The 23 year old went 5 for 10 with 4 RBIs and that clutched 2 run bomb in the 9th. Fans are buzzing, he could chase rookie honors, but it's early days.
