Has he figured it out?
Last night was the second great start for Scott Kazmir. He threw six strong innings, recorded seven strike outs and allowed only one hit all evening to the Cubs. Per Doug Padilla at ESPN:
"He's back," manager Dave Roberts said. "The ball has life and the changeup, he's getting extension with the change and the fastball. The deception is there. He's just really excited about the place he's at. Even when he's giving up runs, he's throwing the ball well, so I think he's been back and it's exciting for us."
...You can watch Dave Roberts speak more about Kazmir's start with Alanna Rizzo on SportsNet LA here (Video Link Here).
"It's kind of just getting everything in sync," (Scott Kazmir) said. "That's where I'm at right now."

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1962 Don Drysdale beat the Phillies for his 13th victory without a loss over the past 15 starts against them. He would then go 0-9 in his next 12 starts against Philadelphia. In 1997 Wilton Guerrero is ejected (and later suspended) for using a corked bat in that days game. He had broken his bat while at the plate and immediately scrambled to pick up the broken pieces. The umpire, a bit curious at Guerrero's actions, decided to investigate, and found cork strewn on the grass.
