MB21 had noticed this during the game - Rich Harden was throwing some of the best smoke we’ve seen since he became a Cub.
I took his average velocity, by innning by start, since 2007 (PITCHf/x data only) and took a look at how today’s start ranked against the rest...

Rich Harden was really good. Averaged over 94 mph on his fastball again. Angel Guzman, Carlos Marmol, Sean Marshall and Aaron Heilman shut the Phillies offense down until the 13th when Samardzija gave up 3 runs.
The offense flat out sucked, as usual. Soriano is back to hitting...
