Last night, 22 year-old Nationals rookie Collin Balester did something no starting pitcher in the franchise has done in nine years: Win his major league debut, as he gave up one run over five innnings. Balester thus bridged the gap between himself and the immortal Dan Smith, who won his debut on June 8, 1999 as an Expo. Smith went on to finish that season with a 4-9 record and a 6.02 ERA It was his first and last season as a starting pitcher.
Hopefully Balester?s future is brighter.But if nothing else, at least he knows how to blackmail the team punching bag, the pint-sized Paul Lo Duca:. (Adds detail on Cove Point imports, par 9) Japan NEW YORK, April 22 (Reuters) – The Elba Island liquefiednatural gas terminal in Georgia is set to receive seven cargoesof the super-cooled gas in April, compared to three in March,according to AISLive ship tracking data on Reuters. The uptick marks a wider increase of LNG heading to U.S.shores as demand in Europe and Asia wanes just as newproduction projects come online. The cargoes, all sourced by BG Group (BG.L), have mostlycome from Egypt, but the last arrival, expected on April 29,will be from Trinidad, according to the data. The 145,000-cubic-meter Maran Gas Asclepius was last seenon Wednesday anchored in the Caribbean Sea, and is expected toarrive on the same day as the Bluesky tanker from Egypt,according to the data.
While the Elba Island terminal cannot offload two cargoesat once, it has the docking space to accommodate two tankers.Once an expansion is complete next year, two cargoes will beable to offload at the same time, a spokesman for the terminalsaid. These two tankers will follow the Neo Energy, expected onThursday, and the Golar Freeze, which arrived on Tuesday,according to the data. Before them, three other tankers arrived earlier in themonth. This coincides with increased imports to other terminalsthat sat largely idle last winter, including the Cove Pointterminal in Maryland, and Lake Charles and Sabine Pass inLouisiana. [ID:nN20394340] The LNG Edo tanker from Nigeria is expected to arrive atCove Point on Wednesday, the data showed, which could befollowed by BP’s British Trader on May 4. Analysts have forecast an increase in LNG imports to theUnited States this summer as the recession cuts demand in Asiaand, to a lesser extent, Europe, leaving more LNG for theUnited States to absorb. Utilities in Japan and Korea, the world’s two largestimporters, bought less LNG last year as demand for gas andpower fell, a trend that has carried over into this year.
