Porcello very good, offense just enough to beat St Louis
Rick Porcello pitched 5.2 strong innings, allowing 3 runs, but only 1 of them was earned because of some bad defense yet again. RP now has 8 wins on the season, which is amazing considering he is only 20 years old. He will have a shot at having 10 wins by the All Star break, which is usually a good benchmark for pitchers to participate in the All Star game. My guess would be that Leyland would discourage Joe Maddon from selecting RP so that his arm can rest for those days.
The offense scored 4 in the first inning, but then went dorment until the 8th when Placido and Marcus both went deep.
This was a nice team win and it was good to win the last game of this 11 game road trip. They have lost 2 of 3 on all inter-league series so far in 2009, which is a major reversal from prior years.
Brewers start a 3 game series at Comerica Friday. I will be there to see the game on Saturday.
