Penny:
8 innings, 5 hits, 1 walk, no runs in Philadelphia. 4-0 win.
John Smoltz:
5 innings, 3 hits, no walks, no runs, 9 Ks in San Diego. 5-2 win
6 innings, 4 hits, 1 walk, 1 run, 6 Ks at home against the Nationals. 3-2 win
Smoltz did pitch against two bad teams, and obviously the NL has no DH, but wow. What a marked difference. Those two were awful for the Red Sox. They couldn't pitch effectively at all.
