The next day, we faced the Cubs again as the sports world turned its attention to the Kentucky Derby.
Jimmy Jones struggled and we trailed 6-3 as I got the call from the bullpen following the Seventh Innning Stretch.
I started with a slider and curve to go to 1-1 in Dave Martinez and then came with a pair of fastballs to get the strikeout.
Mel Hall then grounded the first pitch to third.
With two down, I walked Leon Durham on four pitches.
Jeff Manto then grounded a 1-0 fastball to second to end the inning.
In the bottom of the eighth, Paul Runge grounded a full count fastball to short for the first out.
Razor Shines then watched a full count fastball at the knees be called strike three.
I then walked the opposing pitcher on four pitches.
Shawon Dunston was next. He was 3 for 4 with 2 RBI and I struck him out on an outside fastball chest high on a 1-2 count.
We lost 6-3 to fall to 15-10.
I had now pitched in 12 of the 25 games.
21.2 innnings.
An ERA of 0.84.
15 hits allowed.
21 strikeouts versus 6 walks.
