A home win with 2.2 scoreless from the bullpen???

You mean the worst bullpen ever? 

I did see some fans at the end shaking their heads. They could not believe it happened.

With an extra day for Thompson, maybe a chance for at least a mediocre bullpen tomorrow.

Incidentally, Troop pitched a good game for Harrisburg, 2 hits, 1 run over 6 inning, 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. A reliever named Odalvi Javier gave up 3 runs in the 7th and lost it.
