Ten K Kazmir
Scott Kazmir gets the win as the Rays defeat the Rangers 7-3 to insure they stay in first place for another day. Kazmir allowed just one run over seven innings, striking out ten. Two related items to take away from this performance by Kazmir:
- No walks.
- An efficient outing.
In the past, Kazmir would pitch well but only last six innings because he pitch counts would sky rocket. Keeping the walks low (he's now walked 10 in 30 innings this season) helps, but my guess is he's going after batters more, too. He threw 95 pitches today. As the season progresses and he's all the way back from his injured start, I bet he's starts going eight innings, 110 pitches from time to time.
