(Win Probability Graphing by Fangraphs)Here's another interesting game where both starters put in complete game efforts on this August 28, 2006 Angels@Mariners game.
Los Angeles Angels pitching:
Kelvim Escobar: 8.0IP, 7H, 2R, 2ER, 0BB, 9SO, 0HR - Loss
Seattle Mariners pitching:
Felix Hernandez: 9.0IP, 5H, 0R, 0ER, 0BB, 4SO, 0HR - Win
Not a single base on balls issued in this game. And with the dual complete efforts this one was over in under 2 hours.
This may prove to be an important start for the young King Felix as this is the first shutout of his career and should boost his confidence going forward. This is the King they'd hoped to have on the throne in Seattle at the start of the season. 4 strikeouts is low for Hernandez. But I suspect he was trusting his defense a bit more and working more efficiently than he has in the past. This could be a winning approach for years to come if he learns from this outing.
