It looked a little promising when Cody walked Jason to start off the fifth. But then it seemed like Cody had switched gears...or tactics I guess. He struck out Korrey on three pitches; all three pitches were his curveball.
"Does he think his fastball is not effective suddenly?" Noah mumbled.
"Maybe the fastball is losing speed." Garret threw in his opinion. "And because he's losing speed, he's overthrowing and that's why Jason got walked."
