Alonso hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their strikeout total in three consecutive games.
Meanwhile, Robinson didn't have quite enough to beat Steinbrenner on Tuesday and fell 5-3. The Knights have struggled against the Warriors recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive lost meetings.
Robinson saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Samuel Hyman, who went 2-for-3 with one RBI. Cason Cooper also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Alonso pushed their record up to 7-3 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Robinson, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-3.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Alonso has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Robinson struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.4 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Everything went Alonso's way against Robinson when the teams last played back in February of 2024, as Alonso made off with a 10-2 victory. Does Alonso have another victory up their sleeve, or will Robinson turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
