Armando Benitez

Giants 4, Reds 1

Mike Stanton closed out today's 3-run win versus the Reds.

There is nothing in the AP write-up to indicate why Benitez didn't get the argument against the save as a statisitic.

My guess is he is "permanently" hurt - meaning he has an injury that cannot be corrected by surgery nor can it be worsened through use.

I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV.

"Mike Stanton pitched the ninth, rather than regular closer Armando Benitez because of an inflamed elbow and head cold, and finished for his third save in five chances."

Twice now, I've relied upon the local newspaper's coverage for a quick status and twice I have looked in the wrong place.

Clearly, they are no longer the first choice for information.

Thanks.
