Brown, Duchscherer Lead A's Past O's

Posted May 7, 08 12:23 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Justin Duchscherer is showing he's healthy again. Duchscherer won his second straight start in his third outing since coming off the disabled list and the Oakland Athletics beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 on Tuesday night for their third straight victory. Emil Brown gave the A's a quick lead with a run-scoring single in the first.

Rajai Davis added a sacrifice fly for an insurance run in the sixth and Frank Thomas had two singles and scored twice. Duchscherer (3-1) came out and delivered from the start. He struck out the first two batters he faced, retired the initial nine and got through three innings on only 30 pitches. Baltimore designated hitter Aubrey Huff singled in a run in the fourth to put the Orioles on the board with the first hit off Duchscherer.

  • Health Care Should Be More Like Baseball

    Oct 24, 08 2:05 PM CDT
    Health Care Should Be More Like Baseball If the US health care industry were a baseball team, it’d be “a hidebound, tradition-based ball club that chases after aging sluggers,” write Billy Beane, John Kerry, and Newt Gingrich in the New York Times. The US spends egregiously on health care but gets little in return, like the high-payroll Yankees, Tigers, and Mets. Health care needs its own version of sabermetrics—stat-based analysis that can cut costs and improve performance. More »
