I thought he looked pretty good, though he struggled pretty heavy with his location through out the first and a little in the second. Fast ball topping at 89. And he can still hit. A solid, first pitch double off a Ben Sheets fast ball in his first at bat and another in his second. Sheets looked good too but only thew 65 pitches, leaving in the third after walking the first batter. Expres won. Great night at the Dell.
Edit to add the best part: Backe quoted after the game "I felt good, no pain. I am pain free."
