Very short schedule today, so perhaps we’ll stray briefly from a Giants-centric view of the minors and take a little broader look at the lay of the land. We’ve mentioned before that the introduction of MLB balls into the PCL hitting environment has led to a cartoon landscape. The Tacoma Rainiers, who play in one of the better pitching environments in the league, have a team ERA of 6.49. The Reno Aces are the only team with a worse ERA (7.11). Bring the two teams together in Reno? .... things happen...
Matt Szczur just hit for the CYCLE!
