RHP Ryan Pope: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 4/2 GB/FB — 24 of 40 pitches were strikes (60%) … making the spot start because Wednesday’s doubleheader temporarily threw the rotation out of whack

LHP Matt Bashore: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 6/1 GB/FB — like Pope, he’s making the spot start because last week’s rain outs threw the rotation off
RHP Mariel Checo: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 2/2 GB/FB
RHP Phil Wetherell: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1/2 GB/FB — 35/10 K/BB in 33.1 IP
