Well, that makes eight innings pitched, one walk, two strikeouts, two hits, one earned run. That's not a bad outing right there. Now it's time for Ned to put in his schmuck-iest reliever (Tavarez would have been it two days ago) to get three outs in the ninth without giving up six runs. Did they really just put their closer in down 8-1 on the road? Huh?
