Kyle Harrison shines in front of friends, family and high school classmates in home debut.
With Harrison still gradually building up his workload, Kapler had envisioned the rookie lefty throwing about 85 pitches. But with how solid he had been, Kapler decided to put him out there to start the seventh.
After giving up a double to another East Bay native in College Park alum Christian Encarnacion-Strand and walking TJ Friedl in the top of the six, Kapler decided Harrison’s night was over. Kapler met the 22-year-old on the mound and advised him to soak in the moment and cherish the ovation.“It was a long time coming for sure,” said Harrison, who also said he “definitely” succeeded his expectations. “It was awesome.
“That’s obviously cool,” Harrison said, “but got another game and gonna play the same way and yeah, onto the next one.” It helped having a familiar face in Patrick Bailey behind the plate. Bailey and Harrison had come up in the minors together and were linked up for Harrison’s major-league debut last week. On Monday, the two looked like a seasoned tandem.
