Today was an encouraging step forward for Ventura. He needs to build on it and be consistent.
The biggest difference for him today was working ahead in a lot more counts. He's been falling behind a lot more often this season than he did last year, which leads to him throwing more fastballs in hitters counts, which leads to more hard contact and more contact overall, and worse results.

Duffy still concerns me because at one point in the game he had thrown 100 pitches while Feldman was at 54. Early in the game it was almost 50/50 on balls & strikes when it should be 67/33 or at least 60/40 strikes to balls.
