Wang wins 13th

"I've just got everything going through right now," said Cano, who came back strong after making two errors in Thursday's matinee. "I've been working hard with [hitting coach Kevin Long] on everything the last two weeks, getting here earlier than everybody and hitting in the cage."

"I didn't try to think too much and played catch with the target," Wang said.


"It's awesome," Molina said. "It's a hard, heavy sinker, and it's hard to pick it up. It's not like 89 [mph]; it's 93 and 94. It's a little bit tough, especially when he's throwing strikes."

Wang hurled seven innings to pick up his team-leading 13th victory and his 10th win in his last 11 decisions, walking one and striking out three. Pitching coach Ron Guidry credited Wang's willingness to make slight alterations to his form for the recent success, which has spanned three consecutive victories.

"He's been predominantly pitching one way, with sinkerballs away," Guidry said. "That's where it's effective. It's tough for him to throw sinkers in to left-handers, because it always comes back over the plate. We talked about [going] in with four-seamers, your best fastballs, 94, 95, 96 mph."

“Today, I had better control, and speed was better,” Wang said. “I tried not to think too much and throw to the catcher’s target.”

“It’s tough for him to throw sinkers in to left-handers, because it always comes back out over the plate,” the pitching coach Ron Guidry said. “And we talked about, ‘Go in, but go in with your four-seamer, your best fastball, at 94-95-95.’ That gets them away from hanging out, because they can’t do that anymore.”
