Parnell gives me something to get excited about...

From MLB.com:

In his second Major League start, Parnell tossed six shutout innings, allowing just three hits while walking none and striking out seven in the Mets' 3-0 win over the Giants at Citi Field.

Parnell (3-4), who threw 68 pitches in 2 1/3 innings in his first start in San Diego last Saturday, was far more economical and effective this time. He scattered those three hits, not allowing a runner to reach scoring position. Although manager Jerry Manuel said before the game that he wanted to see more offspeed pitches from his starter, Parnell threw mostly fastballs. He mixed in his slider rarely but successfully, getting three of his seven strikeouts on the pitch.
