Spencer Turnbull was a little better this time out, though still fighting his fastball command a lot, and the Hens offense erupted to take down the Clippers on Wednesday night.
The right-hander threw 43 of 74 pitches for strikes, so he’s at least stretched out enough to return to the major leagues. He’s still a ways from his 2021 form, however. He allowed five hits and three walks over 4 1⁄3 innings of work, but did have the slider and changeup working well enough to punch six tickets on the night.
After a sharp top of the first from Turnbull, Parker Meadows got the offense going right away with a leadoff single and his 17th stolen base of the year.
