It's not often that in a 7-2 win, you have trouble picking four guys who really played well. A couple are easy, but as a result of the offensive slumber after the first inning, the rest are not.
1) Mike Leake. 6.1 IP, 1 ER, 7 K. His overall ERA might not be fantastic, and he may be a shirt thief, but he also has 13 of 18 quality starts.
2) BP. You can't underestimate the value of that early clutch hit to affect the mindset of the team. Overall got on base 3 of 4 PAs.
3) Bill Bray. Sure it was a 7-2 game, but the bases were also loaded with 1 out in the top of the 7th and he shut it down. Against Beltran and Sandoval no less.
4) Heisey. Put the nail in the coffin with his two-run single to make it 5-0 in the bottom of the 1st.
Red LOBster King of the Day: Jay Bruce...he did have 2 RBI but also 5 LOB
