Another Interesting Move By Ned Yost

Instead of leaving Carlos Villanueva in for the 8th inning (he had only tossed 10 pitches in a 1-2-3, 7th inning, striking out 2), Yost decided to bring in Guillermo Mota - who then promptly gave up 4 runs and blew Ben Sheets' chance at win number 7.

Villanueva has been quite good since moving to the bullpen. Tonight was the 5th game he has entered as a reliever this year, and he has yet to give up a run:

5 Games, 7 IP, 3 Hits, 0 ER, 0 BB, 12 Ks
