Farmers Only: Stephenson bounces back

Robert Stephenson heard (even if he didn't like it) the criticisms laid down by his manager after his last start and responded with a much better start. Stephenson pitched 6 innings and gave up 2 earned runs. He allowed 5 hits, 3 walks, and struck out 7. The walks are still higher than you'd like, but you gotta like the uptick in strikeouts. A.J. "Hal" Morris (2 K's), Matt "Mr. Magoo" Magill, and Stephen "Big" Johnson (1 K) all pitched a scoreless inning. Dilson Herrera was 2 for 5 with a solo dinger and 2 RBI. Hernan "The Destroyer" Iribarren just won't stop.
