It will just be Charlotte for three more games after tonight’s update, so buckle up.
The Knights haven’t got to the heart of their rotation yet (Davis Martin, AJ Alexy and Sean Burke), so Jesse Scholtens was on the bump for his first start. Scholtens was more of a long reliever than starter in 2022, and his performance tonight tracked with that record. He was cruising through the first three innings with no runs allowed and 30 strikes against just 11 balls. He was helped, in part, by Yolbert Sánchez with a nice play at third after a tough hop.
