Game 45: Record 26-19

Porcello, Polanco secure series win in KC

Rick Porcello won his 6th game of the year and it isn't even June yet. I had predicted that the 20 year old would win 5 for the year. He looks fantastic and seems to be getting better. I'm sure he will hit "the wall" at some point, but Leyland would undoubtedly give him some extra rest before and/or after the All Star break to hopefully minimize that effect.

Placido Polanco went deep for the first time in 2009. Josh Anderson, hitting leadoff, went 4-5 and stole a base. He could be a great leadoff hitter on a day-to-day basis. If Curtis continues to hit with the power he has shown so far, he seems to be well suited for the 5 hole, where he was today. Miguel hit another loooong HR and is hitting a cool .374.

They now play 4 against the Orioles.
