Dylan Floro has one thing missing from his game that lowers his probability of being a successful big league starting pitcher: his inability to strike out hitters. Floro has just 6.0 strikeouts per 9 innings in his professional career, a ratio that dropped to 5.7 at Double-A and 4.7 so far this season at Triple-A Durham. Yet in a season where their starting depth has come apart, the Tampa Bay Rays just might have to see if Floro can defy the odds. After all, he has been Durham’s best starter so far.

Taylor Motter now has 3 errors in just 2 games at third base for the Bulls, and his latest one led to Dylan Floro’s only bad inning.
