August 1, 2013 (Midland at Corpus Christi)
I got my second save in as many days, as I entered in the top of the ninth with a 7-5 lead. There's a pretty big difference having two runs to work with as opposed to one, and I was pretty relaxed going out there. My stuff also had a lot of life, both in the bullpen and once in the game.
I was facing Midland's 2-3-4 hitters:
Conner Crumbliss (1-for-3 with a homer, lefty) -- Retired on a squibber in front of the plate, 2-3, after I got ahead 0-2.
Michael Choice (1-for-4) -- I threw him a really good 2-1 sinker and he grounded to short.
Dusty Coleman (replaced DH in previous inning, first at-bat) -- Another groundout to short ended things.
A 1-2-3 inning on 14 pitches is a good day. Also, my ERA is now under 5 for the first time in about three weeks. Granted, that's over all of 3 2/3 innings in Double A, but baby steps!
