Brad Penny Carries Tigers To Seventh Straight Win

On Saturday, Penny threw 67 fastballs, according to data on brooksbaseball.net. By Penny's estimation, he only threw about 10 four-seam fastballs, while the rest were sinkers.

The result of that approach was 15 groundball outs, compared with just four outs in the air. He hadn't had more than 13 groundball outs in a game this season, and when he had, they came with just about as many flyball outs.
