- Crismatt went the distance last night and set a new career-high in strikeouts with 13 K, but didn’t get the offensive help in taking the loss. It’s his 2nd appearance as the NL Top UTR Pitcher of the Day (May 19th). After a slow start to the season (6.43 ERA in April), the right-hander got hot in May (1.18 ERA), missing bats with 4:1 K:BB ratio in 38 innings and a 0.97 WHIP. The 6’1″- 200lb. Columbian has seen limited work across his pro career, especially the last two seasons with 62 IP in 2015 (GCL) and 65.2 IP in 2016.
TOP AL UTR PITCHING PERFORMANCE RHP Yoanys Quiala (HiA Buies Creek – Houston) 23 years old 8 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, Win Season Stats: 5-1, 2.31 ERA, 58.1 IP, 40 H, 15 ER, 13 BB, 59 K in 12 appearances with 7 starts
- Quiala has been hop-scotching from the bullpen to make starts, but it hasn’t mattered. The bulky right-hander (6’3″- 235 lbs) has been strong in both capacities going 3-1 (2.52 ERA) as a starter and 2-0 (1.89 ERA) in relief. In his last 26.1 innings, Quiala has only allowed 3 earned runs in 5 appearances.
- The non-drafted free agent signee in 2013 picked up a career-high 11 strikeouts last night.
