Stingy Man With Walks -- Elroy Face (left) Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher, takes the ball from Pirates manager Danny Murtaugh during warm up time before the Phillies game. "I've always had control," said Face, who so far this season allowed 31 hits, struck out 14 and, of course, passed only one. He's won 2 and lost 3, and has been credited with saving eight games for the fourth-place Pirates.
