Brian Bannister was shelled in his second rehab start in Triple-A Norfolk, giving up seven runs and eleven hits while walking and striking out one in 4 2/3 innings before he was yanked. He struggled from the beginning, needing 31 pitches to get through the first inning.
MLB.com quotes Bannister after his rough outing.
“They absolutely killed my cut-fastball tonight. We've been working
real heavily on my curveball and changeup while I've been on the DL. I
haven't thrown the cutter much. They got three home runs off the
cutter. It's obviously my weakness right now, but in the past it's been
my best pitch.
“It's just a feel thing. I've just got to get out there and get in the
rhythm again, keep the ball down and get that good movement back,” said
the righty, who fanned eight and worked seven scoreless frames in a 7-0
win with Class A St. Lucie this past Tuesday.
