Gagne's fastball topped at 92 Thursday; he passed that five times tonight. At one point he threw six changeups in a row, getting strikes on three of them. The pitch that he allowed the double on had fire, and Lee did well to get a hit off of it.
"I would say that at some point in time, Scott Erickson has to pitch tonight," Tracy said, citing Houlton's low pitch count (75-80) and the need "to have a bridge-builder to the back end of the bullpen."
Friday night Weaver and Capuano were both in the high 80s and occasionally 90. Turnbow was 95 and 96.
