Ideally, it would be nice to miss more bats, but I'd take that outcome every time. Limiting walks is great.

Ben Brown only got 6 whiffs on 88 pitches. Not bothering to look it up but Memphis might be a bit stingy swinging and missing.

Also Bailey Horn is probably ready for the big leagues.

Hodge used in relief.  Is this the first time this year?

Yes.

I don’t believe it’s permanent. Hodge and Kipp were scheduled to start yesterday and were both rained out. They kept Wicks and Arias on normal schedule today and brought Hodge and Kipp out of the pen; I assume the latter two will then start on Sunday.

Thanks, that makes sense, I'd forgotten about the rainout.
