3 lefties starting today

Allard in AAA Brennan with a leadoff homer to get things started well. He's hitting 333, 835 OPS In April: 381/428/512: that's before the homer is added in
Boone in AA
Hartle in HIgh A Lake County
RH Zibin for Lynchburg

As a Zibin fan, I'm happy to see him off to a very efficeint start: 2 innings, 17 pitches; a single.
Francisca with 2 singles and his 5th steal.
Hillcats up 3-0 after2

After 3 1/3 scoreless innings and only 41 pitches, Zibin loses command; a 4 pitch walk; 3 balls in a row to the next hitter inlcuding a wild pitch; then a single; and 2 runs are in. He's far from a finished product! But he was a very highly rated high school pitcher and if he's healthy he could be valuable in time.
He's out of the 4th, and I'll guess done for the day after 51 pitches.

Captains up 3-0 after 5; Jose Devers with a surprising 5th homer; Rosario 2 singles; Hartle 4 shutout innings 3 hits 1 walk 5 K. ERA now 2.38. More of the package for Andres Giminez.

Allard with his best outing; 4 1/3 1 run 4 hits 2 walks 3K.

2 singles for Velazquez today, nearly matches his 1-base hit season total coming in.

Akron up 1-0 mid 6. Rodney Boone with a 1 hitter, 1 walker, 3K, 58 pitches through 5
Kayfus with a double; Bazzana 0-3
