Chad Gaudin struck out eight in seven innings and combined with five relievers on a shutout of the Diamondbacks on Friday. Yes, Bruce Bochy needed five relievers to get through two innings. Four relievers combined to face six batters in the eighth before Sergio Romo came in and pitched the ninth in a 2-0 win. It's likely the same result would have materialized had Bochy not tried to get so cute. For one thing, he could have just left Gaudin in. The right-hander was at 92 pitches through seven before being replaced by a pinch-hitter. He's 4-0 as a starter this year, and he's allowed a total of three runs in 20 innings this month.
