So Festa will not have a good outing this year, then why bring him. He had given up one unearned run on 64 pitches and you need innings out of your starters. There was no reason to pull him based on yesterdays game which should be the criteria. And if Alcala comes in and blows up in the 7th, you are probably only going to blow thru one reliever, Topa or Blewett instead of both. That would set up the bullpen better for the rest of the series.
