August 9, 2013 (Arkansas at Corpus Christi)
I entered in the ninth with a 6-3 lead after we rallied from a 3-0 deficit with a three-run fifth, two in the sixth and one in the eighth. I was facing the middle of the order, but that doesn't seem as bad with three runs to play with.
C.J. Cron (0-for-3) -- I walked him on a 3-2 slider I regretted throwing before throwing it. I should have waived off the catcher and thrown a sinker ... maybe a changeup, but that might be overthinking it, too. I had no confidence in the slider and it missed by a foot.
Taylor Lindsey (0-for-2, lefty) -- He smashed an 0-1 sinker through the hole to right, leaving runners at first and third. Not a great start.
Roberto Lopez (0-for-3) -- I threw my best pitch of the day, a perfect 1-0 slider he grounded right to second for a 4-6-3 double play. The run they scored didn't matter.
Drew Heid (1-for-3, lefty) -- I threw a good curve for a 4-3 groundout to wrap up my fifth save.
