--RHP Joba Chamberlain threw six innings in his season debut, the eighth time in 13 career starts he's thrown at least six innings. It was one of his most efficient starts, though: He threw 88 pitches only, marking only the second time he's gone at least six innings in less than 90 pitches. Chamberlain also threw 88 pitches over six innings against the Astros last June 13.
