Daily Farm Report - 5/22/13

Congratulations to Tyler Lyons who made a successful big league debut last night against San Diego. He only allowed 4 hits (1 HR) and 1 walk in 7 innings pitched that only required 81 pitches. He struck out 4 batters and enjoyed a strong 12-4 groundout-flyout ratio. Here's a link to video.

The system went 3-and-1 on a Wednesday night that featured a lot of offense. Kolten Wong was the highlight of a Memphis team that dominated Salt Lake, though a few veterans muscled up in the game. Scott McGregor made his triple-A debut, taking Tyler Lyons' turn in the Memphis rotation. Palm Beach couldn't muster enough offense while Peoria walloped Kane County.
