In Montreal, just 4,340 fans see Curt Schilling pick Expos apart.
Strikeouts are up.
Home runs and walks are down. That shows the strike zone really is getting larger, and Arizona's Curt Schilling is pleased. I didn't think it would be that easy for them to make that adjustment, but I think so far they've done a good job. One month after baseball started to enforce its new strike zone, batting averages and ERAs have fallen. Walks decreased 13.3 percent, from 7.82 per game to 6.78, and strikeouts increased 5.4 percent, from 12.91 to 13.61.
