Devin Smeltzer strikes out 8 in Loons 9-0 win

Dodger minor league pitchers only gave up runs in two of the 36 innings they pitched today. That was good for three big wins and a one-run loss.

Several players could be named player of the day but I am going with Great Lakes left-handed pitcher Devin Smeltzer. Smeltzer pitched six scoreless innings and struck out eight in the Loons 9-0 win.

Those six innings extended his consecutive scoreless inning streak to 15 innings pitched in his last three appearances. The 21-year old has struck out 21 and walked just two in his 18 innings of work in April.
