Now 2 quality starts in his last 9, the other against DET on September 10th.
Masterson coming out for the 9th with over 100 pitches.
That's a bit of a shocker, in this weather.
Hill will likely face Adam Dunn.
Have to love Francona's confidence. 108 pitches. Ace vs. the other team's best power threat, RHP vs. lefty batter. Typical manager pulls Masterson and prevents the possibility of a win for his pitcher.
Why are you even bothering to count the starts at the end of last year. We all know he pitched a lot more innings in a season than he ever had before .
