• Kam Mickolio allowed 2 hits and 1 ER in .2 innings. He struck out 2 batters and walked 2.

Analysis: Erbe got roughed up in his debut, I was expecting this. It’s still early, but I really think Erbe needed some more AA time after just 73 innings there last season.

Delmarva 11, Greensboro 6 – Box Score

• Tony Butler pitched 4 innings, allowing 2 hits and 4 runs (0 ER). He walked 3 batters and struck out 5.

Analysis: Many people questioned Dalles’ bat when he was drafted, but most of the players I talked to at spring training really think he can hit. And he has so far this season. Rosa took a walk!
