Pitching Duel
Smotz and Myers are putting on a clinic through three innings. They've split 75 pitches, combining to throw 53 strikes. Smoltz struck out five Phillies so far, while Myers struck out two Braves and walked one.
Update: Of course, as I write that post, McCann homers to give the Braves a 2-0 lead. The Braves catcher now owns half the cycle, with a double earlier in the game.
re: smoltz and myers
smoltz and myers pitched very similar games on opening day.
i would not be surprised if myers contended for the cy young even pitching in a pitchers park.
