Patrick Sandoval strikes out 5 in home debut with 66ers

Patrick Sandoval, the highly talented lefty starter, has tacked on another scoreless start after pitching 4.2 with nine strikeouts and zero runs allowed against the San Jose Giants on the road in his last outing. Last night saw Sandoval strike out 5 in a start that also saw him facing command issues early on. Sandoval opened the game on a strong frame with 2 K’s and a fly out before finding himself in danger during the second inning. In that second inning Sandoval saw an error and two walks put the pressure on him early; despite his fastball being sharp his secondary pitches saw command issues, which led to four walks including a hit-by-pitch.
