Dustin Nippert (0-0, 0.00) vs. Josh Fogg (6-10, 4.97). Fogg's banishment from the rotation was beautiful but brief. With Dave Williams on the shelf, he'll start today against the Diamondbacks. West Virginia University product Dustin Nippert is the anti-Fogg - he's 6'7", he brings heat and he strikes guys out - or at least he did in the minors. Today is his major league debut after being promoted from Tennessee. He hasn't yet put together the stats you'd like to see before you promote him - he still walks a few too many batters - but he's close.
