In the Tides’ first game back from the All-Star break, there were plenty of interesting tidbits to unpack—despite the loss. Current Norfolk ace DL Hall (Orioles’ #4 prospect, MLB Top 100 #66) got the start for Norfolk but only threw one inning—allowing one run and striking out two. All reports out of Durham say that this was a planned shorter outing for Hall and that there are no injury concerns for the International League’s top strikeout artist. The odd nature of this short outing led plenty to speculate that Hall may be Baltimore-bound, though that speculation was also later put to rest.
