Notes: In a game that was appears to have been the first of two, the second of which was suspended, Silvio Medina pitched a complete-game shutout. He evened his record at 4-4 and lowered his ERA to 2.91 while pitching seven innings and allowing four hits and two walks while striking out five. Victor Chavez led the offense with a 2-for-3 afternoon while stealing a base and driving in a run.
Looking forward to hearing about Peacock’s performance tomorrow. He’s done well so far at AA.
