Astros Minors Fresno Report: Grizzlies start season on right foot

With what some might say is a loaded lineup, the Fresno Grizzlies look poised for a strong season. These players don’t have a spot on the Astros 25-man roster. Manager Tony DeFrancesco’s club opened the season at home against the Reno Aces on Thursday for a five-game series.

Game Recaps

In the season opener on Thursday, the Grizzlies lost 13-6. Starter Collin McHugh was pulled after one inning because of an injury concern, and the bullpen struggled the rest of the way. The only Grizzlies pitcher to post a scoreless outing Thursday was Ashur Tolliver, holding the Aces at bay for two innings.
