Tyler Glasnow had one of his most impressive starts of the year last night, striking out 12 batters in six innings of work. The right-hander continues to dominate the Double-A level, and has now struck out 22 batters over 12 innings in his last two starts. This is all encouraging, as he was dealing with an ankle injury earlier in the season that threw off his mechanics and his results.
“The last two starts are indicative that he is as healthy as he’s going to be," Pirates General Manager Neal Huntington said on Sunday in his meeting with the media.
