Minor game recapsPitchers Moving On Up, Bogusevic & Expectations, Sosa Joining RR
The games take second fiddle to the player news today, let’s start our trip around the farm in Salem.
Salem
The Avs took an 8-4 loss last night. Pankovits had this to say about starter Joel Santo
“In his last two or three outings he’s pitched pretty well,” Pankovits said. “He fell behind but he’s been able to make some pitches to put people away. Tonight he wasn’t able to do that.
“Even though he has a good arm and he’s able to throw in the low 90s, you’ve still got to be able to command your pitches.”
Erick Abreu will start Thursday’s game for Polin Trinidad who was called up to Corpus Christi. Sergio Severino will join the Avs from Lexington.
