Braves Minor League Recap: Jhancarlos Lara strikes out 12

The day was dominated by pitching for the Atlanta Braves system, but it wasn’t the big named and high bonus guys doing the work. Rather, it was a waiver wire pickup in Luis De Avila going six one-hit innings and a $10,000 signing in Jhancarlos Lara who put up eye-popping lines while leading their teams. For Lara this is his last start of the season, and as he has built hype to end the season he couldn’t have asked to finish stronger than a 12 strikeout day. For De Avila, a questionable call at first was the only thing standing between him and his third hitless outing this season.
