This will probably be John Means’ final rehab outing as he wraps up his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The final line isn’t particularly inspiring: 67 pitches, five innings, three runs, six hits, two walks, and four strikeouts. However, it wasn’t disastrous either, and most of his rehab work has been rather solid. Now we wait to see how Means is deployed in the big league staff.
Ryan Watson had a tougher day as the first reliever out of the bullpen. Across two innings he allowed four runs on six hits, a walk, and a strikeout. Nolan Hoffman and Bryan Baker had one scoreless inning apiece.
