Home Team NL Interleague Play - 9 batters versus 8???
Yesterday, I looked at the NL starting pitcher's Batting Stats for the year and career, to see if maybe this could help in handicapping these Interleague games, considering maybe the AL pitchers are more of an "automatic out" compared to the NL pitchers.
Standing out was Haren with a 10-25 .400 batting average for the year. Haren continued with his hot batting as he went 2-4, 2 doubles and 3 RBI's, to help ARIZONA win 8-6 in what I considered it to be a 9 batter versus 8 situation.
Interleague play the NL went 5-2 on Friday.
AL pitchers went a combined 0-14.
NL Pitchers went a combined 5-16, with 7 RBIs, 3 from Haren's 2 doubles, and 4 from Penny's grand slam.
