Let's hear it for May!!
Any win is a good win, especially after a nightmarish April, but when you start a nine game road trip by beating Clayton Kershaw, you have truly found a very good way to win. All it took was a high quality start from your ace, a flawless bullpen job, and home runs from your superstars. No problem, we can do that all the time in May.
It just seems like we win when JohnnyC (4-1) takes the mound and tonight was no different. A nifty outing of 107 pitches, 7 complete innings, 6 hits, 3 runs, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts, resulting in a game score of 65 (compared to Kershaw's pedestrian 41).
