The Birmingham Barons' game with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp was suspended after five innings due to rain, but Dylan Cease's day was done, and he added this line to his stats:
5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 11 K
His ERA at Birmingham is now 1.72.
Cease struck out 11 of the 18 batters he faced, which is a fine recovery from his previous start, which ended after a 42-pitch first inning. He did need 103 pitches to complete it, but he's still taking on a career-high workload by a considerable margin, so making starts is the more important thing.
