Tonight, I start the 2nd of a 3 game series at Pittsburgh. We are 35-30 (2 GB.) They are 34-33. I'm starting against Zach Duke who is 5-3 with a 4.91 ERA.

Their lineup:

RF Will Venable
3B Brian Goff
LF Ernesto Pedroza (hitting .320 with 16 HR's)
CF Brandon Moss
1B Zack Salazar
2B Ryan Raburn
SS Josh Barfield
C Nathaniel Grubbs
P Zach Duke

1-2-3 1st.

Quentin with a solo homer in the 3rd. 1-0.

Struck out Grubbs with a low 1-2 fastball to start the 3rd. 1-2-3 3rd.

Struck out Moss with a 0-2 outside fastball to end the 4th. 1-2-3 4th.

Struck out Barfield with a 3-2 slider to end the 5th.

I'm up in the 7th with bases loaded and 1 out. They have brought in a new pitcher, Chone Whitting.. He strikes me out with a 100 MPH fastball. Not so fun facing that. He had a nasty slider too. Still a 1-0 game as I take the mound in the bottom of the 7th.

Goff leads off the 7th with a single and Mike pulls me. I wish he had pinch hit for me if he was going to do that. He gives the ball to Kuo. Kuo gets us out of the 7th without any damage.

We win the game 3-0 and Bobby Jenks gets his 14th save on the year.

My record is now 7-5. 6.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K.
