Congratulations to Joba Chamberlain for finally getting his first big league win as a starter, a 10-0 rout of the Pittsburgh Pirates. And it only took five tries.
Over 114 pitches, the youngster's fastball regularly reached 99 mph, while his breaking ball helped fan seven over 6.2 innings. Joba's 2.03 ERA since making his first start June 3rd has aided the New York Yankees in wins, even though he hadn't figured into the decision until Wednesday. The club is 4-1 when he starts, allowing just two runs over his last 18.1 innings. Way to go, buddy!

Joba is one day going to be an amazing pitcher. Unless he hurts himself.
