Carlos Mendoza Line decides to have Dedniel Nuņez start the 7th, a 3rd consecutive inning, because beyond Ded-arm, he only has Drew Smith and Reed Garrett in the pen before he would have to
use a pitcher on consecutive days!
The horror! Those poor widdle babies!
Oddly enough, after LHB David Dahl has pinch-hit against the RHP Nuņez and untied the game, Mendoza brings in Creakin' Jake Diekman (a lefty) even though Diekman pitched yesterday! Who knew you could do that? Shocking!
(Diekman gets two outs and then Garrett gets out of the inning without further damage, which is good, as otherwise it would have ruined the joke.)
