I really couldn't tell. The angle was straight behind the backstop. But he was losing command of the strikezone and threw much more hittable stuff which would lead me to believe so. I think they ran him up to 91 pitches tonight but in those last 17 pitches he gave up a deep fly, struck a guy out and gave up two line drives. He was also throwing a lot more balls. He didn't get a first pitch strike on anyone except the guy he struck out. And really, he started to deteriorate in the fifth but managed to keep it under control.
