Pitching keys Dragons’ early success

The Dayton Dragons have completed the first 33 games of their 140-game season, posting a record of 18-15.  The Dragons play a split-season format featuring two distinct 70-game championship seasons.  They can qualify for the playoffs by finishing first or second in the eight-team Eastern Division of the Midwest League in either half.  The Dragons are currently tied for second place, two games out of first.

The Dragons team earned run average through May 13 is an outstanding 2.79.   Particularly notable has been the lack of walks allowed by the staff as a whole.  In fact, the Dragons issued the fewest number of walks in the month of April of any of the 120 Minor League teams currently active (all classifications).
