Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 1, Norfolk Tides 0 (F/10) - Game 1
Bruce Zimmermann is on the road back to the majors and after a rehab start in Aberdeen last week, he has been upgraded to triple-A. Zimmermann tossed three scoreless innings with two hits and five strikeouts, which sounds great. But he also walked five, which isn’t as impressive. Hopefully we see Zimmermann in Baltimore soon. They could use him.
The Tides mustered only two hits in the entire game, which is why the game went 10 innings despite scoreless outings from Zimmermann, Claudio Custodio (4 IP), and Fernando Abad (2 IP).
