A great game, although I thought Leland was pressing it too far to leave Rodney in the game that long. I think he got the last 2 outs in the 9th, pitched the 10th and 11th and came back out for the 12th.
He threw 48 pitches and that's a lot for a closer. He had nothing left at the end. Lots of off speed stuff at 82 MPH vs. 98 MPH early on.
