Jason Bergmann's (- 0.357) hanging slider is the G0At, Albert Pujols (+ 0.247) is the Her0 again. DC lefty John "Cool Hand" Lannan (+ 0.177) allows just 2 ER over 8.0 IP. Elijah Dukes (+ .0198) could've been teh Her0 if it hadn't been for Pujols. John Smoltz (+ 0.253) doesn't get the win, but impresses anyone, giving up just 4 H and 1 ER while striking out 6. Dunn (- 0.120), 0 for 4, 2 K's, Runner-Up G0At to Bergmann's hanger, er, um slider...
