Down on the Farm: 7/29/2016

AAA  Reno Aces downed the Sacramento River Cats 5-4:

Joan Gregorio RHP- 5 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 10 K's.  ERA= 5.43
Cory Gearrin RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Interesting line from Gregorio.  How does a guy who strikes out 10 batters in 5 innings give up 8 hits to the other 13 batters he faces?  Gearrin starts his rehab assignment.
