Andrew Cashner’s education on the mound is a continual process, as evidenced by the development of a new change-up: A split change.

A work in progress with pitching coach Darren Balsley the last couple weeks, Cashner threw one split-change last week at Arizona and mixed in a handful among the eight change-ups he threw in Saturday’s victory, his first in exactly a month.
