After 5 innings, the score was 11-0. What does the manager do? Trot out young Mark to rack up some more wear and tear, that's what. yes, he pitched the 5th. And the 6th. And the 7th. And the 8th! After the Marlins got a couple baserunners in the 8th, Dusty decided to finally rest the young chap, with a 12-2 lead. I mean, there's no way they'd need the kid to pich deep into a game later in the Series, right?
