, facing left-hander Alex Young, drove a ball to the warning track in center, but TJ Friedl hauled it in to end the inning.
Almonte was pulled in favor of right-hander Phil Bickford, who prevented further damage — and Almonte’s ERA from ballooning past 5.02 — by getting Jake Fraley to line out to first base and Jonathan India to pop out to first base to end the inning.

He’s really kind of taking that next step or two.”
