The boy did well.. Had a rough first inning hitting the first batter on a 1/2 count (scraped his shirt), then walked one and gave up 2 hits allowing 3 runs. Settled down for the next 4 innings scattering just 2 hits and walking 1. All-in-all a very impressive performance, especially how he recovered from the shaky start.
I'm absolutely sure he had the highlight of his major league career in the 5th when he hit a line drive double up the gap and scored on Young's single. That's all we're going to hear about now...

Good thing they were playing an away game @ the Giants! (I looked to see if the local station was covering, but no luck. XM only has spotty spring training coverage, and MLB Network is showing a Reds game...............)
We did know CJ was an outfielder before going to the mound, right?

This is awesome! Its really cool that he was allowed to bat in the 5th. Now he's batting .500. Not bad.
