Perdomo through 5 scoreless. FB velo dipped to 91-92 but keeps the ball out of the middle of the zone. Offspeed is flat with little life. Inconsistent SL and CH. delivery is funky enough to keep hitters from getting too comfortable

His great friend Kevin Vicuña wrote on his own eyeblack: “Obi is Back.” And then Obeso used Vicuña’s bat to deliver the game-winning single.
