Giese Goose-Egged
Dan Giese and Daryl Thompson each made their first major league start today, and each well. When I saw the 6-0 Reds win, I immediately thought that Giese would not get another start in Wang's stead. In fact, Dan gave up three unearned runs in 6 2/3 innings (it was his error), lowering his ERA to 0.64. It's tough to win a game if your team doesn't score.
The Yankees were selective with Thompson, drawing four walks in five innings and only striking out twice. But they couldn't combine the hits and walks well enough to push a run across the plate. They loaded the bases in the second with no outs, but Thompson worked out of the jam with both his strikeouts and a pop out. That made up for Daryl and two teammates taking the wrong subway and getting lost in Brooklyn, making them late reporting to the ballpark.
