Hans Crouse was skipped in last time through the rotation, as the Rangers seek to manage his workload, but he was back on the mound for the Hickory Crawdads this morning. The first inning was a bit of a mess, as he started things going walk, bunt single with a throwing error, an E-3, and another walk, but settled down after that. His final line was 4 IP. 4 hits, 3 runs (1 earned), 2 walks, and 3 Ks, with 34 strikes out of 55 pitches. The Hickory hitters racked up 15 hits on the day, with Curtis Terry knocking a homer and two doubles, and Jonathan Ornelas picking up a pair of singles.
