If you want to delay your answer pending MRI results, that's perfectly understandable. But for me, this split felt like a sweep - a big exhalation for a team and a fanbase that felt like it was strangling.
Griffin Canning left early with an ankle injury, one that looked innocuous on the field but decidedly less so when Canning had to be helped to the dugout.
