one?!?

Mississippi Braves left-hander Mike Minor, blending a 91 mph fastball with a nasty changeup, was brilliant on Thursday night, throwing eight shutout innings with 11 strikeouts, two walks and just three hits allowed. But Atlanta’s 2009 first-round pick got no decision in a game the punchless M-Braves would lose 3-0 in 10 innings to Montgomery. Minor’s record remains 1-4. One win is all he’s got to show for his 11 starts. He has a 3.68 ERA and a Southern League-best 91 strikeouts in 63 2/3 innings. But just one W. In fact, Minor’s tough luck extends back to last summer, when he posted a 0.64 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 14 innings over four starts for Class A Rome but finished with an 0-1 record. If you haven’t seen Minor pitch at Trustmark Park yet, go soon. He may not be around Double-A much longer.
