Dumatrait Finds His Control
Over his previous three starts, Phil Dumatrait walked 13 batters while striking out eight. His ERA was okay, however, allowing eight earned runs in 16 1/3 innings. Tonight against the Reds, however, he turned that around. Dumatrait struck out nine and walked just two over seven innings, holding the Reds to two hits and one run. The Pirates took the game 7-2. He's had other performances where he showed good control, so the next step will be repeating that kind of control.
The Pirates also held Jay Bruce hitless in three at bats, proving the rookie is human after all. :-)
