was promoted from High A Daytona to AA Tennessee recently by the Cubs and pitched for the Smokies on Sunday. He pitched 2.1 innings giving up 1 earned run. He also struck out in his only at-bat. Then again, I doubt he's hit in a while. For those that are interested, the Smokies' home park is less than 2 hours from the Upstate and it's right off I-40. It's a beautiful place up on the side of the mountain. I'm a little surprised that foul balls don't hit the Interstate, although it would have to be WAY foul. It reminds me a little of Fluor Field in Greenville except it's bigger and its facade is stone and not brick.
