Down on the Farm: 04/08 Recap

Day 2 of the minor league season saw the Astros system lose 3 games, with the Lexington affiliate coming away with the only victory. The pitching matchups today were not quite as exciting as yesterday when we saw Jordan Lyles, Mike Foltynewicz, and Jose Cisnero all pitch. The only pitcher throwing today that I was interested in seeing how he performed was Tanner Bushue who ended up getting the win for Lexington despite not pitching all that well. Here is your minor league recap.
