- On the other side of town, oof.
Diaz and Familia were supposed to be an elite 8-9 combination.

Their numbers:
59 outings
56.1 IP
61 hits
37 Runs (36 earned)
5.75 ERA
10 HR
4 HBP
29 BB
5 IBB
73 K
**To be fair to Diaz, he owns a 3.77 ERA but has still allowed more hits than IP, and five homers.
- Cool!
We're going vintage this Sunday for our Salute to the Negro Leagues at #TheK.
