How well was Canning doing though?
— Jeff Fletcher (@JeffFletcherOCR) June 16, 2021
He'd allowed 2 runs and 5 baserunners in the previous 11 hitters.
He has a 5.07 ERA.
He has allowed a 1.000+ OPS after 75 pitches this season.
Two LHBs were due.
Watson had a 3.43 ERA.
Watson pitched poorly, but the decision was obvious. https://t.co/4ImkCtUE8f
