Baker asked Wedge about the velocity. Here's what he got:
"He was anywhere from 90 to 98,'' Wedge said. "I think what he's doing is just getting a feel for pitching. We've seen Felix (Hernandez) do it. When he needed to reach back and get it, he did. But if there were any truth to that (diminished velocity) I would probably point to the National League portion of it. Having to hit, be on the basepaths, this that and the other. But I still saw him reaching back -- even in that last inning -- and hitting 95, 96.''
