Quote: Command Was Off
During yesterday’s win over the Reds, Mike Pelfrey pitched seven innings, allowing five runs on six hits (3 HR) and one walk, while striking out four.
Pelfrey, on having the confidence to pitch through a tough outing:
“I feel like i’m getting better. Not pitching in nine days, my command was a little off. Especially with the sinker. My sinker wasn’t very good today. That is my out pitch and it wasn’t very good and command wise it was a little off.”
Pelfrey, on pitching deep into the game:
“As a pitcher you always want to at least go six. Giving up two-to-three runs, but giving up five is not a quality start, but the bottom line is, we won.”
In four starts this month, Pelfrey is 3-0 with a 1.55 ERA.
