Stewart is really wild, and gives up a 2nd inning run.  Great play by Rizzo helped keep it. 
Stewart's stuff seems to move a lot, and he doesn't locate it much.  Almost hit O'Neil on one breaking ball that was way off, then drilled him in the back on the next pitch.  Contreras sometimes targets off the outside edge, and Stewart's pitch end up off the inside edge.  Enough movement to compete, but hard to really be consistent with so little command.  And in a world with tons of velocity, probably kinda tough to be excellent as a soft-toss guy without command, even if the movement is really excellent. 

Carpenter drove in the run, but Rizzo made a great cutoff-and-throw to 3rd to get Molina, otherwise could have been 1st-and-3rd with only one out and chance for bigger inning.
