Drumming Out Dumatrait
Sometimes a small sample size might hold a lot of information. Phil Dumatrait made his sixth start for the Reds today, and gave up three straight home runs to start the game. He settled down to give up two singles before the Reds pulled him from the game. He's now pitched eighteen innings in the majors, allowing thirty runs and six homers. He's also allowed thirty nine hits while walking twelve. I'd say that's a pretty good indication he's not ready to be a major league pitcher. (His minor league numbers are okay, but he's been awful so far with the Reds.)
Weeks and Braun each hit two home runs as Milwaukee blasts six long balls to win 10-5. With the Cubs losing by the same score, the Brewers reclaim first place in the NL Central. Pittsburgh drew seven walks for the second day in a row, but this time they backed them up with thirteen hits to plate ten runs.
