Brief Notes from 4-9-08


-Grady Sizemore hit his 2nd homer and stole his 2nd base.

-Scot Shields gave up a run on 2 hits in the 8th inning for those speculating on who will fill in for K-Rod.

-Micah Owings got his second win (7.0 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K’s) and Brandon Lyon pitched a perfect ninth for his second save.

-Ryan Dempster was lights-out pitching 7 innings of one hit, shutout ball. Wood and Marmol both gave up a run in relief.

-There’s been a Jason Bay sighting. He went 3-5 with his first homerun. The RBI was also his first.

-Jeremy Bonderman picked up Detroit’s first W of the season. He was far from good though (5.2 IP, 5 H, 4 BB, 2 K’s)

-Todd Jones somehow made it through the ninth without allowing a run, giving up 2 hits and a walk.

-David Ortiz went 0-4 and is hitting .091.

-Oakland’s middle infield Crosby and Ellis went 7-10 with 4 RBI and 2 SB.

-Mike Jacobs had 2 HR bring his total to 4.

-Washington’s 1-2 hitters had 4 hits; the rest of the lineup went 1-24.

-For some crazy reason Marlins’ pitcher Scott Olsen was left in the game for 120 pitches.

-Mike Pelfrey passed his first test in the Mets’ rotation getting the W while going 5 innings and surrendering 2 ER.

-Season total SB: Gregg Zaun 1, Jose Reyes 0.

-2B Jose Lopez is off to a good start with 2 HR, 2 SB, 9 RBI, and a .333 BA.

-Corey Patterson and Bill Hall both homered again giving them four apiece.

-Albert Pujols hit his first 2 HR of the year and is hitting .379. Pujols owners can only hope the Cardinals keep winning so he’s not shut down.

-Lance Berkman had his 3rd steal.

-Zack Greinke held the Yankees to 6 hits and 0 runs in 8 innings. He is 2-0 with a 0.60 ERA.

-Joe Crede hit his 3rd HR. He is hitting .406 with 11 RBI.

-Chuck James made an inauspicious debut, lasting just 3 innings and giving up 6 ER. He did strike out 5.

-Willie Taveras stole 2 bags.

-Giants’ pitcher Jonathan Sanchez had 10 K’s in 6 shutout innings. He has 18 K’s on the season in 10 IP.

-SS Brian Bocock stole his third base.

-The Giants have yet to score more than four runs in a game.
