Angels P Kelvim Escobar struck out 14 batters during yesterday's game against the Cincinatti Reds. However, he the unhittable hurler left in the sixth inning due to a high pitch count, and the Angels wound up losing the game! Ken Griffey Jr. hit a sac fly in the seventh to give the Reds the lead, and they added one more in the 8th off the L.A. bullpen to make it a 5-3 final. "I was able to put guys away with fastballs, splitters and sliders," Escobar told reporters afterwards. "Everything was working good -- my changeup, my fastball. I punched guys out with all of my pitches." Shame his team couldn't pick up the win for him, eh?

I am glod to see him pitching well. He is exciting when he is uninjured and has his stuff working.
