The Spurs have been awful this year at home, and although they’ve ...

Groundout Three different relievers simply couldn’t find the plate, issuing five free passes including two that forced home runs. And when they did stumble into the strike zone, Matt Chapman shredded a double (106.2 mph EV) to knock home a pair.
