Tale of two lefties

Good thing I was concerned about C.C. Sabathia going on 3 days' rest against the Angels Tuesday night. He lasted only 8 innings, allowing 5 H, 1 R, 2 BB, and striking out 5. 101 pitches.

Meanwhile, the Angels traded for lefty Scott Kazmir to help him against the Red Sox and Yankees in these playoffs. He left after four innings (4 runs; 89 pitches).

In his two playoff games, Tuesday and a week ago Sunday in Fenway, Kazmir threw a total of 10 innings, allowing 9 runs.

In the Arizona Fall League, outfielder Ryan Kalish is enoying the southwest. Kalish went 3-for-4 with a double and 2 RBI on Tuesday... Both Luis Exposito and Jose Iglesias went 0-for-4.

Relievers Chris Province and Dustin Richardson both pitched 1 inning. Province: 2 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K ... Richardson: 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 3 K.
