Tarik Skubal’s rehab went very well, although they could’ve stretched him out more. In the end, they needed all the pitching they could get as this one took 12 innings to decide.
Skubal looked fantastic. He pumped 96-98 mph the whole outings, showing off good command of his fastball and slider. It took just 31 pitches, 24 of them strikes, to dispatch the IronPigs with only a single allowed over three innings. He struck out five.
The Hens scored first when Parker Meadows cracked home run number nine on the year after Joe Rizzo led off the fifth with a double.
