“I’ve been heavy fastball-changeup for most of the year first two times through the order, and as a pitcher when you’re doing one thing for most of the game, especially later on in the game, it’s tough to pivot and try and throw breaking balls,” Davies said after he allowed two runs on three hits with one walk and six strikeouts in 4⅔ innings. “Getting breaking balls early in the game, having a feel for it, getting the hitters to think of more than just fastball-changeup — two similar pitches, just change in velocity for me.”
