Analysis: Witasick, who missed seven weeks with left ankle tendinitis, allowed two hits, two runs and two walks in one inning against Texas, boosting his ERA to 16.20 in six appearances this season. He also forgot his shoes before the game, forcing him to wear teammate Justin Duchscherer's cleats _ which were a size too small, causing his feet to go numb.
