I implied he pitched on Friday. That's the first of the 2 games (Friday and Saturday)

First 2 indicates Friday and/or Saturday.

Herrera pitched on Friday.

Yeah, actually hes been terrible. He has the worst ERA in the American League, still. Highest WHIP too

Good to see him back on track today. Its just that 1 of 3 starts he has, hes so bad we literally cant win the game.

i said he didn't pitch the first 2..meaning he did not pitch both game 1 and 2 as fever implied

Esky's had a rough series all-around out there

when someone says "he pitched the first 2 games" they don't mean one or the other

Since May 9, he has performed just fine as a #5 starter aside from the one game in New York.
