Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: Lucas Sims struggles against Toledo

This one was ugly all around. It started off well for Lucas as he struck out two, including a rehabbing Cameron Maybin, in the first inning but after that the young pitcher struggled. Lucas wasn't particularly bad throwing strikes as he threw 57 of them on 84 pitches, it was that he struggled with his location and seemed to get frazzled. Following a Moya double (who had a monster game), Sims surrendered a towering homer to Chad Huffman, and then a hard single to Nate Schierholtz. The next inning the three of them did more damage as this time Sims gave up a two run homerun to Moya, and a homerun to Schierholtz.
