I wonder if Neal Cotts may have turned the corner today.
Also, I believe that was David Patton’s first scoreless appearance (including his first MLB win).
Lots of positives about today’s game.
I do wonder what’s going on with Rich Harden. Hopefully, he can work it out.

I think
that Cotts, Patton and Marmol all had very positive outings despite the 5 walks between the three of them. I was certainly encouraged by Marmol finding the strikezone again.
