It's tough when they've played 21 innings the last 2 days. The starters are putting up enough inning to keep the bullpen fresh, but the extra innings make that tougher.
I was surprised they brought Sandlin back in again - Yariel Rodriguez didnt pitch today or yesterday.
I also thought given how well he's been hitting I'd have intentionally walked Durran. Devers is a big double play candidate, and Durran's speed is neutralized with the runner ahead of him anyway. I get that's putting the winning run on base, but giving him a chance to drive in the tying run isn't great either.
