IT NEVER GETS OLD when a pitcher contributes from both sides of the plate, like Yovani Gallardo's 3-run bomb off Randy Johnson yesterday. Turns out it was the first homerun ever given up to a pitcher by The Big Unit—not a good sign. I always wonder if homeruns like this are the result of lucky swings. Bengie Molina called for the high heat, and Johnson located it, but at a mere 91 mph, a far cry from the heat he threw in his glory years. Gallardo jumped all over it, pulling the pitch into the leftfield stands. Oh, and Gallardo's pitching...2 runs in 6 2/3 innings. Not too shabby.Thursday, April 9, 2009
Yovani Goes Yardo!
