Besides watching Daisuke's best outing of the season, if you were paying close attention, you noticed something strange: his velocity steadily and fairly dramatically improved through the first few innings for both his fastball and his slider/curve.



I thought I'd point it out because it is a fairly drastic example of a pitcher getting stronger as the game went on (at least, up until the 6th).

Note
Hat tip to Alex for also noticing this during the game.
