Jack O’Loughlin’s second Triple-A start after moving all the way up from High-A ball went much better than the first. He only struck out two, sitting 92-93 mph for the most part, but he blanked the Bisons for five innings as the Hens built a lead and just hung on in the end.
After a surprisingly rough last few weeks, Justyn-Henry Malloy had a big game on Wednesday. Things were quiet for two innings, and then O’Loughlin pitched through quite a lot of traffic in the top of the third without allowing the run.
The offense appeared to take a little momentum from the escape act.
