Gallardo best game of his career.  7K/0BB, 9/1 GO/AO.  

Last year, he allowed 17HR in only 122 innings, really scary in the minors where not a lot of power hitters.  This year, 0HR.  Not sure what to make of that, but I'm hoping the new no-HR guy is real.  HR-factory or not can make all the difference.

Tom, your support for Gallardo hasn't been fully supported in past years.  For the moment, you deserve full, due credit!  Lets see how the K's and HR's go moving forward.  Hope this becomes increasingly normal.

Wowza!  That'll play.  He's going to be a nice add to the bullpen in a month when he's eligible to come off the IL.

Twitter is claiming Kilian was up to 99 on the same gun yesterday so maybe a grain of salt on the readings for Heuer.  Still plenty good though, especially for his first game outing in over a year.

Herz and Little in Tennessee. Horton in South Bend.

Looks like one more!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Aliendo with 2 doubles and a HR for Tennessee, his OPS is now 1.092.  Only 55 PA, but if any of this offensive outburst sticks around he'll make for an interesting Rule 5 decision.

Why was Herz not with a club?

He had a late start in spring training due to an injury(I believe Raisin said groin) so he stayed in AZ to finish that build up.
