Both Boyd and Fulmer shut out the hot offense in Texas, which is something to say for a pair of pitchers who really shouldn’t even be in the regular rotation.
If they continue to pitch this way, there is little to no reason to hurry veterans Jordan Zimmermann and Mike Pelfrey back from the disabled list (Well, there is still one reason: Anibal Sanchez).
To put this in perspective, when Sanchez pitched on Friday night against the Rangers, he allowed eight hits and eight runs. He struck out four and walked two.
