Alex Hirai turned in yet another pitching appearance with fewer than two walks surrendered on Tuesday. Declo had no answer to Hirai as he didn't allow a single earned run and only two hits while striking out six over four innings pitched. Hirai continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
Hirai's strong effort led Wendell over Declo and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Hirai has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 0.5 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Declo has only allowed 4.88 per game this season.
