Anthony Banda continues to pitch well in AA Mobile, sporting a 5-2 record with a 2.37 ERA. Banda has a 75/25 strikeout to walk ratio in 68 1/3 innings while averaging about 5 2/3 innings with every outing. The only things he can really work on at the AA level is reducing walks and pitching deeper into games, although he's gone 6 or more innings in 6 of his last 9 starts. It's possible that he will get a look at Reno later this year if this performance keeps up.
