Matt Herges Sighting

Matt Herges won his first game of the season for the Indians tonight. He’s 39 this year, as many professional lives as a cat. His career has appeared to be on the ropes more times than I can remember, but he always seems to bounce back.

After a poor, but not horrendous, year for the Rockies last year, he started in AAA Columbus in the International League this year and did not pitch particularly well, posting a 1-2 record with a 5.40 ERA. The Indians called him up solely out of desperation, but he’s been lights out in the majors. After eight appearances, he has a 1.35 ERA with 14 K’s in 13.1 IP.

Will wonders never cease?
