Top prospect Anthony Banda has struggled a bit to start the year for AAA Reno, getting blown away in his first two starts. His last two starts have been very serviceable and yesterday found his strikeout pitch. His K/BB of 20/14 still needs a lot of improvement, and with an ERA/FIP/xFIP of 5.49/4.91/4.75 on the year he’s not ready for MLB action just yet.
No Stars today, not enough good performances to warrant it.
Reno Aces 4, El Paso Chihuahuas 3: The Aces scored 4 runs in the first inning and held onto dear life to the end.
