Commentary

The Fort Wayne TinCaps went off! They scored 15 and notched at least 1 run in every inning except the first and eigth. Half this team is going to get promoted to Lake Elsinore in June.

I generally won’t put a minor league reliever in my “Pitcher of the Day” list, but Herr struck out the side and furthermore he has a 0.00 ERA over 7 games (8 IP) with 3 BB and 13 SO. I don’t know what kind of stuff Herr has, but I intend to find out.
