Miami Marlins rookie pitcher Nick Wittgren, a Purdue alum who pitched for the Boilers from 2010-12, had a memorable night in The Show last night. He is on his third stint this year, as he has been back and forth between Miami and Triple-A New Orleans, but last night he earned his first major league victory by throwing three perfect innings. He even struck out three of the nine batters he faced.
Wittgren pitched the 10th, 11th, and 12th innings for the Marlins, and earned the victory by allowing exactly zero baserunners and striking out three Pirates.
