06/01: Hughes on the Hill
Posted by: James
Phil Hughes is making a start right now for the Trenton Thunder. You can follow along by refreshing the current box score or if you can, the play by play is being streamed (free) over at MiLB.com.
He's just given up two runs in the second...which might be too much. Trenton doesn't exactly boast a very robust lineup. Of course, right after I write that they go ahead and score three runs (though they were probably the softest three runs I've ever heard).
Another 2 runs given up by Hughes with 2 outs. Still, I've counted at least 3 hits so far that the Portland announcing team (who are REALLY excitable) have categorized as bloops over the infield. Also, even these Portland (Red Sox AA club) guys are complimenting Hughes' stuff - even better results will start coming soon, I'm sure...but today is just not his day as he ends up giving up 8 hits and 6 ER (2BB, 6K)in 5 IP. Ouch. This outing takes his ERA which had been at 4 all the way up to 5. Hopefully, the other guy who had lowered his AA ERA to 4 (T-Clip) can come through with a better performance in a couple of days.
