The Battle is Joined

After Phil Hughes pitched very well last night in his latest stint, Joba Chamberlain did the same today. In his outing, Hughes showed growing confidence in his change. For his part, Joba showed increased velocity and his knockout slider. I was unable to watch it, but listened and it sounded like he threw a few curveballs, too. Any, he gave up a bloop double that someone else might have caught, then a single for his only two hits and an earned run. Beyond that he K'd 4 and walked one, and got some grounders by jamming batters. Remember, last time out he was working on pitching inside and this time out he did a much better job. This is getting fun! Go Yanks!
