Brandon Backe has had a rough start to his season though he has definitely pitched better than the 6.05 ERA he sported coming into the night (DIPS ERA: 4.01). He just finished off a complete game, 4-hit shutout against the Giants tonight with six strikeouts to only two walks. His real ERA is now 4.97 with a DIPS ERA of only 3.79.
Good thing we got Geoff Blum in return for him!
