"I felt good physically," he said after the game. "Everything's comfortable. You should pitch well when that's the case."
The Stars were anything but comfortable against the 23-year-old Detroit Lancers hurler, who fanned 0 and gave up 2 walks.
"Humphreys used his changeup very well, very effectively," said opposing manager Eli Moses. "He threw it in hitter's counts."
