Javier Vazquez spun 5 1/3 innings of shutout ball despite giving up 10 hits in Tuesday's win against the Angels. Vazquez racked up 98 pitches despite not walking a batter. He struck out four. Over his last two starts, he's given up only two runs in 10 1/3 innings. Progress is progress for a pitcher whose ERA hovered over 7.00 for most of the year. He's 4-7 with a 6.37 ERA and will take those numbers into an advantageous matchup on the road against Oakland next week.
