Mark Leiter Jr. picks up 1st big-league win as Phillies cool off Diamondbacks
"He's in there cleaning the guacamole and mayo out of his hair," Cameron Rupp said with a laugh. Eventually Mark Leiter Jr. made it out of the shower and over to his locker where equipment man Phil Sheridan presented him with three game balls, souvenirs from not only his first big-league start but his first big-league win, as well. "It's something I'll never forget," the 26-year-old right-hander from Toms River, N.J., said after pitching six shutout innings to backbone the Phillies' 6-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on Friday night (see Instant Replay).
