All of Ryan Dempster's new found stamina won't be worth a thing if he can't get out of the 2nd inning. Well, I guess you need some stamina to get through this line

Not to mention
FIELDING
E: Dempster (1, fielding).
And Michael Wuertz saved his butt from further damage
Inherited runners-scored: Wuertz 2-0.
So, Demp got five guys out, gave up five extra-base hits, walked two, and allowed one to reach on an error. The first six runners scored, but, by that time, Wuertz was warmed up.
