Yeah, this one, uh... it wasn’t great. Starting pitcher Chris Vallimont, a 40-man roster player who was making his Triple-A debut, did not have a great first experience at the level, getting smoked for six runs on nine hits in a four inning start. He even committed a balk. Vallimont had done well at Double-A since arriving by waiver claim. Perhaps his subsequent outings at this level will fare better than this one.
The offense was not any great shakes either. Tides batters had only four hits in the game. At the top of the order, Terrin Vavra, Gunnar Henderson, and Jordan Westburg all went hitless.
