#2 vs. PHI 7/1. Pitched one inning, allowing no runs to keep the score 0-0. The next half-inning, he transported his win knowledge to Troy Glaus and Eric Hinske, who prceeded to homer and get Downs the win he deserved.
#3 vs. SEA 7/15. Bengie Molina was so inspired by Downs' scoreless 14th he proceeded to lace a single in the bottom half with Lyle Overbay on second. Downs' winniness had begun to spread to all players on the roster.
#4 vs. SEA 7/16. The Blue Jays made it clear Downs pitching in extra innings motivates them to start hitting. The Mariners offense was overmatched by Downs' winning ability as evidenced by the 3 Blue Jay singles off George Sherrill in the bottom of the 11th.
#5 vs. OAK 7/28. Downs not only stifled Oakland's offense, but gave his bullpen mates a rest as well, giving up just 2 hits and a homer in 0.1 game-saving innings. Justin Speier and BJ Ryan, who combined for 3.2 scoreless in relief of Downs, later begged for Downs to teach them the ways of the win.
#6 vs. MIN 8/13. I have nothing funny to say about this one. The Twins suck
While Chad Gaudin may have an ERA a full run lower than Downs at 7 years younger, some question when Gaudin will improve his win factor.

Your task is to find one other person on planet Earth who would rather have Scott Downs on their team than Chad Gaudin. The handicapped people you work with don't count.

Downs can spot start, Gaudin can't.
