o. He probably isn't among the top three contenders, but Clay Buchholz certainly has the credentials to be included in the AL Cy Young argument this season. Any shot of his making a dark-horse run down the stretch likely evaporated Friday night, though, as he was battered by the A's.
Nine of the 11 batters Buchholz faced reached base, with five of them coming around to score, and he was unable to record an out in the second inning before being pulled by Terry Francona. It was the shortest non-injury-related departure from a start in his career, and his ERA jumped from 2.25 to 2.53 in the process -- quite a one-game move for a guy with more than 150 innings.
"I'm not worried about the whole Cy Young deal. I'm worried about this team winning games," Buchholz said. "Definitely not a good night to go one-plus (innings) out there, and the team's trying to battle and stay in the position where we can catch up with the guys ahead of us. Just a poor effort on my part."
o. Marlins pitcher Alex Sanabia, who threw 6 2/3 shutout innings Friday night in Washington, began serving his five-game suspension Saturday. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
