Homer Bailey threw a successful rehab start last night for the first-place Pensacola Blue Wahoos. The Blue Wahoos are the Reds AA affiliate. He threw 64 pitches over 5 innings, an inning longer than he was planning on working. Bailey gave up 3 hits and 1 walk and no runs. He struck out 5 batters.
Bailey felt good about the start, according to the Pensacola News Journal (Bill Vilona):
“I think all signs (Friday) pointed in really good directions. The ball was coming out of my hand really well. That is one thing throughout this the whole process I really haven’t lost… is the command.
