After literally throwing away the final game of the Cubs series, the Blue bounced back nicely last night and defeated the Snakes, 6-3. Odallis Perez again turned in another quality start, pitching 6 strong innings, while JD Drew continued his torrid month of April, driving in 3 of the 6 runs with a home run and a big 2 out single in the 7th that would give us a 6-2 lead. Baez, after suffering a blown save in Wednesdays contest, would record the final 2 outs to notch his 4th save of the season. Takashi Saito, our 36 year old " rookie " from Japan, turned in another outstanding performance pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings, making a strong case to be our middle man.
