Who are the Mr. Octobers of yesterday?
Well, the Cardinals-Dodgers game has Mr. Octobers in Michael Wacha (who again impressed with 8 Ks in 6.2 scoreless innings) and, in another case where two pitchers are getting the award, Clayton Kershaw, who got a tough-luck loss, having given up just two hits in the game and no earned runs.
As for the Tigers-Red Sox game? Anibal Sanchez, who has 6 hitless innings with 12 Ks before the pitchcount took him out, and Jhonny Peralta, who had three hits, including the game’s lone RBI.
