At one point during the game, Detwiler retired 15 out of 16 batters he faced. Detwiler said he credits his recent success to watching teammate Chien-Ming Wang, who, like Detwiler, relies heavily on a sinker.
"I get to watch him on TV, while I'm charting the game," Detwiler said. "It's huge for me to be able to see that and see him work [with the sinker] -- the conviction that he has with every sinker that he throws. It's funny going out there because every hitter knows what's coming, but he still gets ground-ball outs."
