Did Ya Know 🧐 :
Jean Cabrera gave up one run over seven innings on Tuesday in the series opener, his second straight seven inning start. Since the BlueClaws moved to High-A in 2021, only Andrew Painter (2022) threw seven innings in back to back starts (Gustavo Armas in 2018 was the last BlueClaw to do so in Low-A). Cabrera’s seven inning start last week marked the first time a BlueClaws pitcher has thrown seven innings in an April game since 2017 when Adonis Medina (April 20th) and Ranger Suarez (April 21st) did so in back to back games. It was the first 7-inning April start for a Phillies High-A pitcher since Bailey Falter on April 29th (and 23rd) with Clearwater in 2018. - Media Notes
