Rigthander Alex Meyer, one of the Twins' best pitching prospects, has an 8.31 ERA through two starts at Class AAA Rochester.
On Wednesday, Meyer gave up five earned runs over 3â…” innings on seven hits, five walks and six strikeouts. He has walked 11 batters in 8â…” innings pitched in his two starts.
Meyer had a chance to pitch himself into the rotation during spring training, but his control was an issue then, too.
"I think he's just a little out of sync right now," said Brad Steil, Twins director of minor league operations. "… He had a few games like this last year, so he'll be all right."
