Tyler Phillips goes a solid 7 IP

Frisco righthander Tyler Phillips faced off against the Astros’ AA affiliate last night, and had an overall solid night, going 7 IP while allowing just 2 runs (1 earned). Phillips allowed just 2 hits (one a home run) and one walk while striking out 3. This is the sixth straight outing he has allowed 3 earned runs or less (though he allow 3 earned and 4 unearned runs his last time out). The strikeout totals are still lower than you would like to see, but Phillips is making headway. In relief, Demarcus Evans struck out 2 of the 3 batters he faced in a scoreless 9th, lowering his ERA at AA to 1.
