In what was probably the second biggest game he's pitched in nfl football jersey this year, or at least the second biggest stage he's pitched on, 26-year-old jerseys for cheap Washington Nationals' lefty Ross Detwiler threw 4.0 scoreless for Team USA last night in their 6-2 win over Italy in the World Baseball Classic. The Nats' '07 1st Round pick didn't start like he did in Game 4 of the NLDS with the St. Louis Cardinals this past October, on the biggest stage he pitched on this year, but he came on in relief of US starter Ryan Vogelson as planned and shut down the upstart Italians, allowing just one hit and a walk and striking out three in a 51-pitch, 36-strike appearance that allowed Team USA manager Joe Torre to rest his other pitchers for today's critical win-or-go-home matchup with Team Canada.
"That was our plan, we're going to use Detwiler to piggyback. I love the way [Detwiler] pitched," Torre told reporters after last night's game when asked about the left-hander's relief effort, "It would have been nice if discount nfl jerseys he had about another eight or nine more pitches, because, again, our goal is to make sure these guys get the work they need so when we do return them to their clubs, that they're at the part of Spring Training they need to be. But he was great. But this was our plan and we were hoping for this result, obviously."
