Down on the Farm: 4/22/2018

AAA  Tacoma Rainiers pounded the Sacramento River Cats 12-5:

Steven Duggar CF- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .298.
Chase d'Arnaud 2B- 0 for 2, 3 BB, SB(3).  BA= .275.
Casey Kelly RHP- 0.2 IP, 2 H, 6 R, 5 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 10.80.
Jose Flores RHP- 4.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 5.84.
Will Smith LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Derek Law RHP- 1 IP, 4 H 4 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 11.25.

Gotta wonder about Casey Kelly's health after a start like this.  Will Smith must be close to coming off the DL.  He's turned in identical 2 K clean innings with 1 day off in between.
