Once again, Chien Ming-Wang had another outing where he must receive some praise for improvement despite a rather ugly performance.
For the second start in a row, Wang went 5 innings, giving up 3 earned runs in the process. Not a great outing by any stretch, but relative to his other starts this year, Wang [...]

In five innings he allowed three runs on six hits, walked one, struck out four, and threw 42 of his 62 pitches...
