Calhoun gets nicked on the shoe to put runners at first and second.

Swell of McHugh to avert disaster not torpedo the game in the top of the first.

There's the Gomez we know: swing out of your shoes at the eye-high 3-0 pitch, watch the 3-2 pitch for the K.

They'd brush him back, but nobody on the USMNT could put the ball on target.

They managed to hold Argentina scoreless for the next 28 minutes or so. That's pretty good.

first win after trailing by 8.  and now they are .500. 

nice to see them score a run with a runner at third and no outs.

And McHugh pitched a good game.

this team has some holes. Far from a great team. They have some very good players that can carry them when they are going well.

Let's revisit at the all-star break. Next two weeks or so are critical to entering the discussion.
