'Pen Progress: San Antonio's bullpen was much maligned at the beginning of the season but has since been a big part of the ball club's success. In the last five games the bullpen has an ERA of 1.77 (4 ER/20.1 IP) with 4 walks and 22 strikeouts. On the season the Missions' bullpen is sporting a 4.07 ERA, which is good for third in the Pacific Coast League. San Antonio's 'pen had a 4.74 ERA in April and is now boasting a 3.44 ERA in May.
Shooting Blanks: San Antonio was shutout for the first time all season last night and the first time since August 21, 2018 against Frisco when they fell 9-0. The Missions have not been shutout in back-to-back games since May 25-26, 2015 when they dropped game two of a doubleheader to Frisco 8-0 and the first game of their series at Arkansas 1-0. Entering last night the Missions were one of just four teams in MiLB to have scored a run in every game. Reno is now the only team in the Pacific Coast League to have not been blanked this season. Triple-A Charlotte and Triple-A Lehigh Valley are the only other teams in MiLB to have not been shutout in 2019.
