Glasnow, baseball's No. 9 overall prospect, has dominated opposing hitters his last two times out. Over his last two starts, the 6-foot-8 right-hander has racked up 16 strikeouts without a walk while allowing four hits over 13 shutout innings.
It's an encouraging turn for Glasnow, who sat out from May 17 until June 19 with a sprained right ankle. He made two rehab starts, returned to Altoona and started piling up strikeouts like usual.
Glasnow improved to 4-2 for Altoona and lowered his ERA to 2.12 in 10 starts.
The Curve's two, three and four hitters backed up Glasnow at the plate Thursday night.
