Scott Kazmir Walks Eight, Loses Fifth Game

Eight walks sounds bad, but there are plenty of positives to be found in Scott Kazmir’s last start. 

Kazmir was facing the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs for the second time since beginning his comeback. 

The first time, they roughed him up for six runs on six hits in just one inning. This time around was a different story, however, the numbers don’t do it justice. 

Sure, Kazmir walked eight batters and dropped to 0-5, but he went six innings, the most in his eight appearances. He only allowed two earned runs and four hits while striking out four. Again, this is a testament to the hard work he is putting in.
