Jose Valverde pitched three innings Wednesday for the win in a 13-inning game against the Twins.
A heroic effort from Valverde after he blew a save due to an unearned run in the 11th. It's the first time in his career that he's gone three innings. In fact, he had pitched two full innings just once all season and five times in five years. Valverde will need at least one day to recover, so Phil Coke might be a candidate to record a save Friday. |
