But unfortunately for the Braves he was also 2-2 with 3 RBIs. So I guess they'll move him over to first base for the rest of the year?

That's not a bad idea. He can probably play 1B for the Yankees.

Yeah, his ascension to a 3.50 ERA has begun.

not to mention if its in the wrong spot you cant get the right snap on your breaking pitches which decreases break.

He was going to regress, he's not a 2.00 ERA pitcher.

He was able to throw all his pitches. He just was due for a shellacking.

Is Penny historically a bad 2nd half pitcher? I know he pretty much struggled last year in the 2nd half after having a good first half
