AA: Frisco 2, Northwest Arkansas 1
Record: 26-19, +4.0
Blake Beavan won the battle against Kansas City’s Aaron Crow. Beavan pitched seven extraordinarily efficient innings, shutting out the Naturals on four hits, no walks, and five strikeouts on just 81 pitches. On the season, Beavan’s 17.3% strikeout rate is just a tick below the league average and a vast improvement on last year’s 9%. As usual, he’s walking not even half as many batters as the typical pitcher.
Doubtlessly, Beavan could have stayed in -- that pitch count was his lowest since April 13th – but rehabbing Matt Harrison needed some innings. He earned a two-inning save on two hits, a run and four strikeouts.
Joey Butler (.286/.365/.451) put Frisco on the board first with a solo homer, and he later walked twice. Taylor Teagarden singled twice.
