Damn what a list today!

Injury update. Either Harvey is one of the unluckiest pitchers alive, or the O's brass is screwing him up in the worst way.

Hunter Harvey, rhp, Orioles. Harvey is Baltimore’s No. 2 prospect despite not throwing a pitch in earnest since July 2014. He’s pitched just 113 innings in three pro seasons due to various injuries. After making it through spring relatively healthy, the injury bug got Harvey again. He will have surgery to repair a sports hernia, the Baltimore Sun reported. He’s expected to return to a minor league affiliate by July.

Joey Gallo, 3b, Rangers. The slugging third baseman has a left groin strain and will miss three-to-four weeks. He was off to a great start with seven homers and 17 walks in 20 games.

Adam Brett Walker HR (4)

No surprise to hear that Harvey is injured again...

Aaron Judge HR (4)

Rough one for Snell. 5 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 5 BB, 4 K.

 

[Jaypers]

A certain Triple-A pitcher is perfect through 5, with 5 K's. That is all.

 

[Jaypers]

Marcos Diplan's line - 3.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K

 

[Jaypers]

Taylor Clarke's line - 5.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K.

A certain Triple-A pitcher is perfect through 5, with 5 K's. That is all.

Make that 6 innings.

EDIT: I stand corrected, a runner reached on an error in the 5th, but the no-hitter is intact.

 

[Jaypers]

And that's it for Julio Urias. 6 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K. (77 pitches/52 strikes)

 

[Jaypers]

Dan Vogelbach HR (3) - grand slam

 

[bmp1971]

And that's it for Julio Urias. 6 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K. (77 pitches/52 strikes)

 

[Jaypers]

Ryan O'Hearn HR (8) - first in AA

 

[Jaypers]

I'd say De Leon/Urias are the best one-two in MiLB.

I haven't seen enough of De Leon to know. I like the looks of Glasnow, Honeywell, and Gonsalves though. Not to mention Giolito...or Reyes...

 

[Jaypers]

Robert Stephenson's line - 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 4 BB, 6 K

 

[bmp1971]

Ahh, I get what you mean now-- best 1-2 in same rotation. Makes sense then!

Correct. However, Louisville's R. Stephenson/C. Reed have a case as well.
