It's been a long, sucky day already and it's only looking to get worse, so I'll get in and out on this one. Sam Deduno faces Nate Karns, who makes his third start in the majors. In the minors, he walked too many but struck out an impressive number (262 in 216 innings).

I'd love to have a day off for this doubleheader, but unfortunately that wasn't in the cards. At best, I'll see the end of the first game.
