Despite allowing two baserunners during his appearance against the Minnesota Twins Saturday, April 14, Texas Rangers RP Joe Nathan showed off the best fastball he's had in several years in a non-save situation. Six of his pitches registered 95 mph, with his best one reaching 96 mph. "I finally stopped guiding the ball after the second hit and let it go," Nathan said. "I got mad at myself and just started pitching. It felt good to pitch from the stretch and not allow any runs. I don't think even in spring training there was a time when I pitched from the stretch and didn't allow a run."

Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington said he's not concerned with RP Joe Nathan after he blew his first save Wednesday, April 11, pitching on back-to-back days. "I thought he was throwing the ball well," Washington said. "Once again, maybe location just had something to do with it. I thought he was throwing the ball well. It was 93, 94 mph. It's a big league club over there. I don't know how many innings we had them shut down, but right there in the ninth inning they put some runs on the board." Nathan was beat with his slider, which he admitted wasn't low enough in the zone to be effective.
