Quite a pitching line. 5 IP 1 H 1R 1BB 12K
The run scored on a 3rd Strike WP . That runner advanced to score following 3 more WP's.

That beats Hanson's score last night on three WP/PBs - I think he was walked to 1st.

Hanson hit a ball off R.A. Dickey's foot, then WP, PB, PB to score.

WV pitchers combined for 20 Ks on the day. The other half of the Melancon trade, Taylor Hearn, had a nice start today.

Were they swinging at fastballs in the dirt or does he have a tough curveball? He must have some amazing ball movement to get that many swings on wild pitches.

The write up didn't say but the scouting report mentions a good curve and a change that he gets K's on. I would think the pitches in the dirt were off speed. Low A hitters have a tough time laying off that stuff.....
