Pennington Pitches

Position player Cliff Pennington faced three batters as the Blue Jays ran out of relief pitchers they wanted to use in this game. Mark Lowe, like Ryan Tepera and LaTroy Hawkins, could not finish the game and save the rest of the bullpen. Just horrible pitching by the Blue Jays in game four. The walked five and struck out just five, giving up 15 hits, 12 of them singles. The Royals also converted four sacrifice flies. The Royals win 14-2.

Update: Pennington was the first position player ever to pitch in the post-season.
