Encouraging signs from Vlad:

First-pitch slider for a tough strike. Second-pitch sinker way inside for a ball. Third-pitch sinker on the inner half for four RBIs. He got every bit of it, lining the ball 441-feet over the left-centre field wall at 108 m.p.h. It was his fifth hit in eight plate appearances. The fourth time in that span he’s put a ball in play at 99 m.p.h. or harder. Oh, and it tied a ballgame.
