“The circumstances are a little different, I wanted to pitch – we had the 19-inning game (on Friday) and I knew we were going to need something from somebody”, Estrada said of his decision to pitch through the injury.
The only possible way Carrera could have been safe was if Gimenez missed the tag, but the replay explanation contained no mention of Gimenez missing the tag and none of the replay angles I saw showed any space between Gimenez’s glove and Carrera’s right ankle. “I don’t know how you can overrule that”.
If Estrada isn’t ready Gibbons said right-hander Drew Hutchison would likely make the start in his place. “I don’t necessarily think that was the case”. The right-hander struck out four.

“I feel like I did my job more than anything”.
“I think it will get better, I don’t think it’s anything too serious”. Hopefully it’s completely gone by the next one.
“But both teams put on a pretty good show”.
