Rockies prospect Jesus Tinoco pitches another gem, Hoffman implodes again

It was a tale of two prospect pitchers on Tuesday night, as Jeff Hoffman and Jesus Tinoco—both acquired from the Blue Jays in the Troy Tulowitzki trade—started for their respective clubs (Isotopes and Yard Goats) and had very different outings.

Hoffman (who was ranked as high as our #2 prospect by MLB Pipeline and Purple Row in 2017) had another rough outing in Albuquerque, pitching five innings and giving up twelve hits, nine runs, three walks, and striking out two batters. Tinoco, on the other hand, pitched a gem over five innings and only gave up six hits, one run, and a walk while striking out six.
