Final numbers on Spencer -- 5 2/3 innings 95 pitches, 7 strikeouts, 8 hits, 5 runs (all earned), 1 walk. No decision.

Spencer has had 1 bad inning this year, giving up 4 runs in the 2nd. Nice to see him bounce back after that to put up 0s until the 6th inning.

Another good outing by Dre until the 9th. Seems we have a few relievers that the staff really tries to stretch. More than 3 innings for a reliever is usually asking a lot.
