Wandy Pitches Great And The Astros Sweep The Reds
The Astros Dugout — ... (man that guy is a GREAT bunter - I think he’s even better than Willy T), got 2 outs, then Edwin Encarnacion pounced on a luscious midthigh outside FB and sent it over the fence for a 2-0 lead. Actually, it really wasn’t a bad pitch - the one Wandy threw to the next hitter was much meatier, but he got under it and ended up just flying out. Wandy gave up just 2 more hits, an infield dribbler and a solid double to deep center, 2 walks, an IBB and 6 K. That was 2 GOOD games he pitched to finish up the year. He had a very good fastball - and he was throwing it 92-93, the curve was working and so was the change. He actually had a VERY good year this year. He’s really learned to control his FB a lot better - he doesn’t nibble near as much as he used to and he is throwing both the curve and change for strikes. He STILL needs to work on controlling his emot ...

Tribe Report — ... put runners on first and second. A double play ball seemed to get Laffey out of the jam, but a walk by Edwin Encarnacion and another Adam Dunn beaning loaded the bases.
