MLB Debuts…Scoreless Innings Streaks…and MORE
This has been a big week for the CP baseball community. Today’s blog will highlight big league debuts, scoreless innings streaks and much more:
Chad Jenkins (Blue Jays) was promoted to the big league roster earlier this week, making the jump from AA to MLB. In his first appearance, Chad went 3 scoreless innings of relief, striking out 2. Stats
Steve Cishek (Marlins) is in the midst of a 17 inning streak of scoreless appearances. He has converted each of his 7 save opportunities since the all-star break and continues to impress in place of previous closer Heath Bell. Stats
Corey Kluber (Indians) was effective in his 2nd career MLB start, leaving after 6 innings of work with 1 run allowed. Despite departing the game in the position to earn a W, Corey went home empty-handed after a bullpen meltdown. Box
Tim Gustafson (Reds AAA) went 6.1 innings, allowing a single run in his 4th win of the season at the triple-A level. Tim has now allowed just 2ER in his last four appearances. Story
CP Athletes Strong in MLB Relief
CP athletes are getting the job done on the mound this week in MLB…
- On Tuesday, Tim Collins (Royals) tossed 2 scoreless innings of relief against the Indians. Box
- Last night, Cory Gearrin (Braves) continued the trend, going 2.1 scoreless (3k) in his first relief appearance since being called up earlier in the week to the big club. Box
- Despite Gearrin’s efforts to keep a 4-2 game within reach for the Braves, fellow CP athlete Steve Cishek (Marlins) closed out the win for Miami. Steve earned his 5th save of the season and has strung together 15 consecutive scoreless appearances. Box
- Tonight, Corey Kluber (Indians) will make his first big league start against the Royals at Kaufman Stadium. If all goes well, we may have the chance to see both Corey and Tim make contributions in the game. Preview
