Ugh - very disappointing appearance from Joe Beimel. I'm glad Troncoso was able to pick up the pieces with only three pitches. Broxton looked good in the eighth, and Saito looked even better, just now striking out the side in the ninth.
I'm excited by Furcal's play thus far, he has three RBI on the year, and has looked dynamite in the field. On a sour note, though, I can't help but feel that starting Pierre was a mistake - this is an issue that could eventually hurt team chemistry, as Pierre seems to be a crybaby.
