I forgot to post yesterday so I have 2 days worth of games here in this post. The offense broke out in the American League games, and the National League had some more dominant pitching. Now through 2 games for every team we have 4 undefeated teams left. The 01 Arizona Diamondbacks are showing what a dominant starter can do for you as they have 2 complete games from their starters. As the tournament keeps unfolding it will be interesting to see who can sustain when the #3 & #4 starters take the mound.
