There wasn’t much of a #hugwatch in the Tampa Bay Rays’ minor league games on Wednesday, which makes sense given that the Rays aren’t involved in any major trade rumors. Instead, there was just some great baseball in the system, particularly from Blake Snell, several Durham hitters, German Marquez, and non-drafted free agent Peter Maris.
Triple-A International League: Durham Bulls 5, Gwinnett Braves 3
Blake Snell pitched well in his first Triple-A start, with the disclaimer that he lasted only 4 innings. In this game, however, he did get through 5 frames and looked even better.
