Texas Rangers pitching prospects Joe Palumbo and Tyler Phillips each pitched last night — Palumbo for high-A Down East, Phillips for low-A Hickory — and they each had their best outings of the season, probably two of the best outings any of the Rangers minor league pitchers have had this year.
For Palumbo, it was his fifth start for Down East this season — he missed most of 2017 and the first half of 2018 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and his first three starts were rehab assignments with the AZL Rangers.
