Again, I feel that it’s worth it to remember this is only practice.
Houston sent likely number five starter Hayden Wesneski to the hill. He walked one, gave up two hits, threw a wild pitch, and surrendered an unearned second inning run. He also struck out five in only 2 1⁄3 innings. An in-game OPS of .585, albeit in a microscopic sample size, and a K/9 over 18.
Nick Hernandez (two bf, two out), Bryan Abreu (one inning, two H, two K), Bryan King (one inning, zero H, one K), Miguel Castro (one inning, one H, one K) and Forrest Whitley (two innings, two one H, two BB, one K) followed Wesneski with scoreless efforts.
