Colby Lewis threw a lot of balls in the first inning. He allowed some good contact in the second. In the third, though - in the third, he shined.
Yankees Vs. Rangers, ALCS Game 6: Colby Lewis Throws Best Inning Yet
Jorge Posada lifted a first-pitch lazy fly out to lead off. Standing in next was Marcus Thames, and in the unusual position of facing a right-handed pitcher, Thames popped out to short for the second out.
Up third was Brett Gardner, and Garner didn't take the bat off his shoulders in a three-pitch strikeout that went outside fastball, outside curveball, outside fastball. Lewis threw all of seven pitches in the perfect inning, and his breaking balls looked good.
Excellent news for the Rangers going forward.
