Dempster looked a lot better this inning against the bottom part of the order. Three quick outs.
Eight pitch inning. Baker hit the first pitch hard. Byrd struck out on four pitches. Not much doing here, is there?
Top of the third. First error of the season for Stewart who just plain muffed a routine ground ball. Dempster does not seem the same pitcher from the stretch so far. Walked Espinosa again, then Zimmerman to load the bases. Came back to get out of it. Dempster is getting squeezed a little by the plate ump, but to me he was on the point of having a typical meltdown inning until Werth bailed him out by swinging for the fences.
Bottom of the third. Dempster is the only guy so far to work the count even though he grounded out, he saw five pitches. DeJesus gets a hit, but Barney grounds out to end the inning.
