I’m giving it to a pair of catchers today.
Josh Bard: 4 for 5, 2B, 2 runs, rbi
Bard helped put some offense on the board. San Fran pitching didn’t need much as Peavy and Co. combined for a shutout.
Russell Martin: 3 for 5, 2B, HR, 2 runs, 2 rbi
Unfortunately for Martin, he did his damage in a losing cause as LA lost a close one to Milwaukee. Martin’s batting #2 in the lineup and it seems he likes it their so far.
Special mention goes to the Pirate starter Ian Snell. The Pirates won yesterday but he did not. That said, Snell mustered 11 strikeouts in six innings allowing only one walk.
