Brandon Sproat Racks Up Eight Strikeouts Tuesday
Brandon Sproat allowed one run on two hits and a walk while punching out eight in a 6-5 loss against Triple-A Indianapolis. Sproat bounced back with a gem after allowing five runs in his previous start. The right-hander generated 12 whiffs on 40 swings for the night, all coming from his four-seam and breaking ball combination. It's been a tale of two halves for Sproat as he struggled to a 5.95 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 62 innings in the first half. He holds a 2.05 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 48.1 innings since the break. When he's consistently throwing strikes and letting his stuff play in the zone, he's found success. He could be a candidate to come up to the majors when the rosters expand and would be a good add in deeper formats.
