Ross Detwiler shows he belongs

And this is our number 5 guy? Pinch me.

Ross Detwiler is on fire. In last night’s 2-0 win over the Miami Marlins, Detwiler recorded 7 strikeouts in 6 innings of shutout ball. He allowed just 3 hits and 1 walk.

Over 3 starts, Detwiler has thrown 16 innings with an 0.56 ERA. He’s allowed one earned run, 11 hits, and 4 walks, while striking out 15 batters who are no doubt thinking, “This is their number 5 guy?”

Hey Ross, Keep up the great work!
