Last night’s loss was a tough one. David Huff will be making his first start after being primarily out of the bullpen this year. He took the place of Phil Hughes in the rotation. In his career, he has made 52 starts to a 17-26 record and a 5.41 ERA.
Huff has a tall task in front of him. Shawn Kelley (tricep), Boone Logan (bicep) and David Robertson (shoulder tendinitis) are likely unavailable today. Preston Claiborne and Joba Chamberlain may be unavailable due to heavy workload recently.
