Things haven’t been going super smoothly for the San Francisco Giants lately, though it seems like they are perhaps starting to find a little momentum. And they have good news on the way: left-handed pitcher Blake Snell is returning, and he seems to be in excellent shape.
Snell made a rehab assignment on Sunday with the Low-A San Jose Giants and starred, pitching four perfect innings with seven strikeouts. And on Friday he took his rehab assignment to Sacramento for a second — and surely final — start, this time with the AAA River Cats.
And he was just as dominant there, striking out 10 batters in 5 no-hit innings.
