Fister Has A Rough Outing

RHP Doug Fister was out of sync in the first two innings Friday night, leading to four Pittsburgh runs.

"His arm was up and down early, then he got it back on top," manager Jim Leyland said.

The first three Pirates he faced reached base and two scored, the second on a double play. He allowed a pair of singles at the start of the second and contributed to a pair of unearned runs when he threw a sacrifice bunt attempt wildly past third, with LF Delmon Young bobbling it to let a second run score.

"I didn't make the adjustments soon enough," Fister said. "The throwing error on my part, I just wasn't together. Physically, I feel tremendous."

Fister settled down and allowed three more hits until leaving for a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Early in the game he was getting the ball up too often.
