Steve Trachsel's line from Game 2:
IP H R ER BB SO HR PC-ST GS 5.0 6 6 6 3 1 3 87-50 29Terrible. An otherwise horrible start, yet Trachsel picks up another win because the offense staked him to a big lead. He did his best to make it a close game, but to no avail.

Dave Williams's line from Game 3:
IP H R ER BB SO HR PC-ST GS 6.1 7 2 2 1 4 1 102-67 54Anytime you can get a win out of a retread like Dave Williams you know things are going well. To his credit, Williams pitched admirably, limiting the damage with some help from Endy Chavez's glove. For a soft-tosser like Williams it's vital that he keeps his walks to a minimum. The opposition is going to get their hits, so if he can avoid needlessly putting guys on base he will stand a much better chance of succeeding.
