No look: Looks like DeSalvo may be the real deal with his 2nd straight great outing:
6 2/3 innings, 7 hits, 2 runs, 3 BB, 2 SO, 1-0 with a 1.98 ERA
6 2/3 innings= 20 batters,right
7 guys get hits, 3 guys take walks= 10 batters or 50% made it on base. 8 guys hit out with either a grounded ball, fly out which can be cause by the good pitching or be caused by poor hitting, you make the call. The right combo and ....
Two out of twenty get SO and we call that great pitching with a low 1.98 ERA.
They still lose which sucks.......BIG TIME
Now we go into Chicago and then the back to NY to face the Mets.
Actually, 6 2/3 innings = 20 outs, not batters. The 7 hits he surrendered would have presumably been against 27 official at bats, which would yield a batting average of .259, which is pretty average. However, if those hits don't include a homerun, it's a pretty good outing.
I'm certainly not ready to proclaim him anything, based on a successful outing. He may be a pretty good pitcher, but I'm sure he'll get roughed up a bit if he stays in the big leagues.
