Shane Drohan had a 1.32 ERA in 6 starts, 34 innings for Portland with a 0.82 WHIP.

However, since being called up to Worcester he has a 5.80 ERA in 13 starts, 59 innings & a 1.73 WHIP.

After 5 straight starts where he pitched 4 innings or less, Drohan finally got a quality start last time out - 3 runs in 6 innings, & hopefully he can build on that, get back to the quality stuff he was throwing to start the season, & start limiting base runners & runs.

11 a.m. - Pirates Black @ Red Sox Red (TBD)

11 a.m. - Red Sox Blue (TBD) @ Pirates Gold

12 p.m. - FCL Red Sox (TBD) @ FCL Twins

6:35 p.m. - Portland (TBD) @ Bowie

6:35 p.m. - Worcester (Drohan) @ Syracuse

7:05 p.m. - Rome @ Greenville

7:05 p.m. - Salem (Elvis) @ Fredericksburg

NAZZAN is hitting 2nd today & starting at SS.

TEAL is hitting 3rd & starting at C.
Their 1st at bats were uneventful. Nazzan flew out to center & Teel grounded out to 2nd.

Ovis Portes opened for DSL Red today in his 2nd game of the season.

This outting went less well than the first one & he allowed 2 runs in 1.1 innings on 1 hit & 3 walks, striking out 2.

He was relieved by Denison Sanchez who is 17. Sanchez had a similarly scary WHIP, allowing 3 hits & 2 walks in 1.2 innings with a run & 2 strikeouts.

He was relieved by Gilberto Batista who should be in for some bulk work.

FCL Orioles have 4 SB on Teel in 4 innings, including a double steal of home. I’m sure a lot is on the pitchers but something to watch.

It's too bad one can't just casually grab video of it & more easily properly assign blame, but yeah, definitely not a great start.

How much longer is the FCL season? Is it worth trying to get Yoeilin stateside for a taste before next season? He appears pretty unchallenged so far.

Looks like FCL ends 8/22. I remember reading that it was unlikely he would come over this season, but that was a few weeks ago.

DSL also looks like it ends 8/22.

Bradley Zimmer hit a 2-run homer in the 4th to put Worcester up 9-4. Not a great outing from Drohan.
