As he did on a minor league one. The hundred MPH on a pitch tailing away from a righty? Yeeeeeesh.
Yes, he gave up the homer. He's still gonna be a phenomenal part of our pen going forward. Two men on for Konerko, who's hitting the stuffing out of the ball, and you're making your major league debut? Welcome to the bigs, kid. He was great.
And can I say how impressive Wilhelmsen's THREE innings of relief were? Wedge was gonna ride his best bullpen pitcher as long as he could, and he did. Tom was up to the task.
BTW, at some point Noesi's allowed to figure out how not to get killed by baserunners in the minors, right? Or Beavan can strike out 5 per in AAA with his 80 ERA+?
Cuz Hultzen's leading the Southern league in ERA (just ahead of wonderfreak Bauer) and WHIP and is second in Ks - just yawning his way through the competition.
