[CJ9]

Wentz starting for GCL, Cruz getting a day off.

[smootness]

Wentz: 2 IP, 0 H, 2 BB, 2 K. We'll see if he goes back out for the 3rd.

[Tapate50]

Wentz having success early. Like to see it...

Anderson had his first start already correct?

Anderson had his first start already correct?

Nope, not yet. I would guess it will happen this week.

[smootness]

Wentz did pitch the 3rd. Gave up a hit and a walk but still held them scoreless.

Final line: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB/2 K.

[CJ9]

Wentz is done: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K. The one hit was an infield single.

Wentz to start his career: 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 6 K.

[IslandBrave]

Riley with another bomb tonight.

[smootness]

Riley with another bomb tonight.

Toussaint pitching well again as well. 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB/5 K. Just at 56 pitches. He's definitely figuring things out.

[chop2chip]

Toussaint pitching well again as well. 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB/5 K. Just at 56 pitches. He's definitely figuring things out.

Riley for that matter as well. It's always encouraging to see players adjust and grow.

[dak]

Ruiz with a HR. Coming into tonight, slashing 274 / 369 / 373 and reportedly has looked good with the glove. If the Braves can get Prado this offseason, Ruiz could be a nice player to have at-the-ready in AAA. Prado's versatility can effectively make Ruiz an internal backfill for a number of positions.

[smootness]

Welp, it's blowing up on Toussaint in the 5th. Oh well, still a positive step.

[msstate7]

Albies single
Lien triple
Swanson double

Really like the top of our AA lineup

[CJ9]

A rocky fifth inning for Touki, but he's thrown 54 strikes and 22 balls so far. The split was even better than that before he walked two in the fifth.

[CJ9]

Swanson is locked in. A pair of ground rule doubles in the first two innings.

[Garmel]

Swanson is batting .476 over his last 11 games(including tonight). Insane.

[Tapate50]

Another good night!

[CJ9]

Allard so far: 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K.

[IslandBrave]

Allard so far: 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K.

Clearly too good for the Appy League at this point. Hopefully he moves to Rome soon and Fried goes to Carolina.

[CJ9]

Allard now at 8 K/1 BB through 5 scoreless innings.
