The second inning went by even faster than the first one did - the end result of six consecutive batters getting out a little sooner. Matt Cain threw 13 pitches in the upper half, needing seven to punch out Jayson Werth, and he's now at 28 through two scoreless innings. Cole Hamels one-upped Cain by using 12 pitches in his perfect half, striking out Pat Burrell and getting sudden superhero Cody Ross to ground out harmlessly.
