MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Against a Norfolk offense that ranks first in the International League in average (.284), OPS (.852), and runs (317), the only noticeable blemish on Cardinals prospect Michael McGreevy’s pitching line on Thursday night came on a pitch left up in the zone.
McGreevy gave up two runs on six hits across five innings in Memphis’s 10-3 win at AutoZone Park in Memphis, Tenn. He allowed four hits and a walk in the first two innings but stranded each runner that reached base in the two frames.
The only mistake the 22-year-old made that led to a run came on a sinker left at the top of the zone to Lewin Diaz, a Baltimore minor league with 129 games of MLB experience for Miami, who sent the pitch for a two-run homer with one out in the third inning.
