El Duque made his first minor league start in his journey back to the major leagues.
He pitched five innings, allowing two runs on three hits. He allowed one home run, a solo shot in the third. Adam Rubin said, "I’m told El Duque had impressive offspeed pitches, but his fastball looked offspeed, too."
Hilarious and sad at the same time. Duque will have to be a crafty Jamie Moyer-esque pitcher for the rest of his career, painting the corners and keeping the hitters guessing. I'm not so sure he can do that.
