The NSI Minor League Report: Wang Rounding Into Shape

Sunday 5/17

Chien Ming Wang continued his scoreless streak in Scranton, throwing 7 shutout innings without a walk. His velocity was down a tick (92 vs 93 last game), but the results were there. Here's what Cash had to say on Wang's performance (from Chad Jennings' SWB).

In the second game of the doubleheader, in Scranton, Brian Bruney pitched one inning and wasn't as effective. Scranton lost in extra innings.

Trenton lost a doubleheader, despite Jorge Vazquez going 5 for 8, with 4 doubles and a homer. He should be promoted to Scranton soon. Tampa lost a 1-0 game, while Charleston won.
