Yates Moves Forward
In his first start since returning to AAA Norfolk, Tyler Yates
pitched 5.2 no-hit innings in picking up the W. He allowed three walks and struck out five in the Tides 3-0 win over the Rochester Red Wings (Twins AAA affiliate). Gerald Williams added his third homerun and Craig Brazell miraculously only struck out once.
Yates appears to be taking his demotion well, probably realizing that a handful of good starts at AAA will have him back with the big club.
