Rajai did it better -
hit him hard enough to mess up his fingers but soft enough so that he stays in the game and gives up 6 runs.

34 strikes, 31 balls = bad
I don’t care if you’re through three scoreless. 65 pitches with a strike/ball ratio that bad is not going to get you deep into a game.
This is definitely an area Gio needs improvement on.
