Rookie day in the NL. Dontrelle Willis faces Carlos Zambrano and gets to show Dusty Baker why he should be on the all-star team. Willis is 4-0 with a 1.26 ERA over his last five starts. Note, however, his road ERA.
Meanwhile, no one seems to be complaining that Brandon Webb was passed over for the All-Star game. Over his last five starts, he’s 2-1 with a 1.80 ERA. His last outing was also against the Rockies. In Colorado, he went 7 innings and gave up 1 run. Now that’s impressive. And remember, if Webb goes five or more good innings tonight, he’ll wake up the NL ERA leader tomorrow.
