At The Plate

Final Thoughts

A winning streak? Pinch me.

It was good see Mark Leiter take advantage of his opportunity to get a look in the starting rotation. Leiter hasn’t been anything special when asked to pitch out of the bullpen, but turning in six scoreless tonight may buy him a second start and allow the team to take their time getting Jerad Eickhoff back.
