Today was not the Topes day. I mean they haven’t had many good days losing 12 of 14, but today was especially bad. Noah Syndergaard was in town.
The Topes starter was unknown as of Wednesday night but Thursday Morning, it was announce that RHP Shane Carle would join a number of recent pitching call ups to help a depleted Isotopes pitching staff.
Carle is 4-0 with a 4.45 ERA in five starts with New Britain this season. In 30.1 innings pitched, he’s walked just three batters, while striking out 21. He is in his third season of Minor League ball after being drafted in the 10th round of the 2013 first-year player draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
