Pittsburgh Pirates: Brubaker, Marvel, and Kranick Throw Well
The Pittsburgh Pirates organization saw three minor league pitchers head to the mound last night. All three threw very well in their starts.
JT Brubaker went to the mound for his third start for the Pittsburgh Pirates Triple-A affiliate Indianapolis. He faced off against the Cincinnati Reds Triple-A affiliate, the Louisville Bats. The big righty from Akron threw six innings and gave up two runs, both were charged as earned runs. Both runs came off of a home run. Brubaker also struck out five batters while walking two. His Triple-A record is now 2-0 with a 2.65 earned run average. In his 17 innings of work, he has 12 strikeouts and seven walks.
