KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- As encores go, this was a real dud. A stinker of stinkers.
Everybody wondered what Michael Pineda would do in his first start after striking out 16 Baltimore Orioles batters five days earlier. Was Ron Guidry's team record of 29 strikeouts in two consecutive games in peril?
No. Not in the least.
Louisiana Lightning can sit back and relax.
