Rich Hill was nearly perfect in his two innings of work against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, but much like Clayton Kershaw after his first start of the spring, the veteran left-hander noted there is room for improvement.
“Nineteen of the 22 balls came out of my hand the way I wanted them to,” Hill said. “That can obviously be improved. It’s good to start that creative process earlier. That was there today, so that was good. Right now, it’s working on the tempo and rhythm of the game.”
Hill issued a leadoff walk in the bottom of the first inning on five pitches.
