The Jake's Jake

An outstanding start by Jake Westbrook today. A nine inning, 103 pitch shutout of the Baltimore Orioles. Westbrook allowed four hits and two walks. The defense helped, as they took two of those runners off base with double plays (and with only four strikeouts, he needs the help from his defense). Sixty-seven of his 103 pitches were for strikes. Westbrook now leads the AL with a 2.70 ERA.

The Orioles, who not long ago were hanging with the Yankees and Red Sox, now find themselves 1 game ahead of Toronto and 1 1/2 ahead of the surging Devil Rays.
