The NSI Minor League Report: One Step Backwards for Brackman

Tuesday 5/26

Andrew Brackman, who's pitching has shown signs of being an ace lately, had a disaster of a game, going 3.1 innings with 10 walks and 5 wild pitches. When the 6'11" pitcher's mechanics are off those are the results. Charleston still won, and Brackman actually limited the damage, as he only gave up 1 hit and 3 runs.

Scranton was rained out and will play a doubleheader today. Zach McAllister, got the win for Trenton, and looks like the polished pitcher that Brackman is not. Mac scattered 4 hits in 7 shutout innings. He has not given up more than 2 earned runs in his 8 starts. The Trenton offense, had a season high 20 hits and 11 runs. Eduardo Nunez went 4 for 4, and Colin Curtis topped that with a 5 for 5 night.
