Three more wins

I have already written about Roy Halladay and his perfect game yesterday. It is so great to see one of the hardest working pitchers in all of baseball be rewarded with this incredible accomplishment. He is quickly making a name for himself to be considered for the hall of fame. He still needs a number of more wins, but he has now won 155 in his amazing career.

Brett Anderson of the A's returned to the lineup after coming off the DL. He was on a pitch count which held him back from pitching deep into the game. He did pitch 5 2/3 innings of shutout ball and struck out four Tigers batters. The 22 year old is now 2-1 on the year and has a record of 13-12 in his two seasons.

Mat Latos of the Padres continues to impress as he ran his winning streak to 4 games with a victory over the Nats. He pitched six innings and struck out 8 batters and then trusted the bull pen to take care of the rest. He now has a record 5-3 on the year and he has nine career wins.

Offensively young Jason Heyward hit his 10th of the season. That is pretty haughty numbers for the first two months of the season. This is the young version of Albert Pujols.

Speaking of Pujols, his Cards team was shutout by the Cubs and Carlos Silva. Silva ran his record to a perfect 7-0 with an 11 K performance against a strong hitting lineup. The 31 year old has been a very pleasant surprise for the Cubs team in need of consistent pitching.
