Taylor Guerrieri getting closer to form in Port Charlotte

In his 9th start of the season, Taylor Guerrieri spent three innings trying to find his way.

The outing was a rare miss, in what has otherwise been a strong campaign to recover from Tommy John surgery and return to form.

"I didn’t have command of any of my pitches. That was the worst it’s been all year," he admitted. "I walked four guys. It was a frustrating night to say the least. And it showed too. My body language was terrible. I was moping around out there."

It’s been a long, unexpected road for the righty since being drafted 1st round by the Tampa Bay Rays out of Spring Valley High School (South Carolina) in 2011.
