Mitch Talbot threw 8 strong innings today to lead Durham to a 1-0 win at Rochester.  Talbot gave up only 2 hits over his 8 innings of work.  He also struck out 5, and walked only 2.

After an ugly start to the season, Talbot has been quietly pitching well.  His ERA is down to 6.00.  

Jon Switzer and Seth McClung combined to finish Rochester in the 9th.

Also worth noting...Ben Zobrist walked twice, but still cannot find his swing.  He was 0x2 and is hitting a shade over .200.
