Facing the same team and pitching in the same ballpark where his 2023 season was put on a momentary pause due to injury in mid-April, Cardinals prospect Tink Hence delivered one of his strongest outings of the season as the calendar nears the end of May.
Hence spun four scoreless innings and struck out six batters on 67 pitches during his Tuesday start for Class High-A Peoria. The four frames and six strikeouts on the road against Brewers’ Class High-A affiliate, Wisconsin, matched season-highs for the 20-year-old right-hander. Both those marks were set in his opening-day start for the Chiefs on April 6.
