I have seen Chris Carpenter pitch like this numerous times over the past three seasons. When he’s this strong and has made it to the middle innings, he usually doesn’t falter late.
How about the Tigers’ Joel Zumaya? He must not feel well tonight; he only reached 99 miles per hour with his fastball. I’m just glad he’s in the game with his team behind because you don’t rally against a guy like Zumaya.
OK, last three innings. I can do this.
