Zach Duke missed his spots

From John Perrotto's report on yesterday's action:

"It felt got to get out there and there were definitely a few nerves," [Zach] Duke said. "You know (manager) Lloyd McClendon is watching from the dugout and (General Manager) Dave Littlefield is watching from upstairs, so you definitely want to make a good impression.

"It wasn't the perfect outing. I missed my spots a few times but it was good to face hitters in a game situation. All in all, it was a good first outing."

Duke threw ten pitches and struck out the side.

FWIW, DK counted twelve pitches. 92 mph from a soft-tossing lefty sounds good to me.
