Didn't get to catch the game, but he was excellent last night.
Went 7 innings with 6 hits, 1 run, 6 strikeouts, and 0 walks. He also had two doubles in three ABs ... the first time he's shown any ability at the plate, which I was anxious to see considering his success as a junior at Kent State. Sveum said he thought we'd start to see more power pitching from VBS beginning with last night's start, and it looks like he is beginning to overpower hitters.
He threw first-pitch strikes to 18 of 27 hitters, and allowed just two or three three-ball counts.
