Wilson posts back-to-back scoreless starts

Bryse Wilson has pitched in the Majors this year, but he's starting to find some consistency in the Minor Leagues. 
Atlanta's No. 6 prospect turned in his second straight scoreless start, scattering five hits over seven shutout innings as Triple-A Gwinnett downed Columbus, 3-1, at Huntington Park. He struck out seven and walked two.

Wilson (6-7) notched a pair of strikeouts in the first inning, including sixth-ranked Indians prospectBobby Bradley. He gave up a single to Ryan Flaherty in the second, but avoided further damage.
The 2016 fourth-round pick retired the side on just seven pitches in the third, two by strikeout, including Cleveland's No. 15 prospect Daniel Johnson. He fanned Bradley again swinging before giving up a double to 10th-ranked Yu Chang, but was able to work his way out of trouble in the fourth.
Gameday box score
Ka'ai Tom singled off Wilson with two outs in the fifth and the 21-year-old worked around a leadoff single by Brandon Barnes and a walk to Flaherty in the sixth before capping his afternoon with a perfect seventh.
"My fastball command was really good," said Wilson. "I'm glad I was able to mix in my changeup. I found some success with it during the second and third time around the order. I was just trying to keep the hitters guessing."
The Durham, North Carolina, native last recorded back-to-back shutout starts for Double-A Mississippi on July 3 and 8, 2018.
Wilson lowered his ERA from 4.30 to 3.98 and extended his scoreless streak to 14 1/3 frames -- the longest run by a Stripers pitcher this year. He matched a season high with seven strikeouts for the sixth time this season. 
"It's nice to get out on a roll," he said. "I'm just really trying to use all my pitches in every situation and in all counts." 

Over the 6-foot-1 righty's last 10 starts for Gwinnett, Wilson has allowed 22 earned runs on 56 hits over 56 1/3 innings. He has struck out 57 opponents while posting a 3.51 ERA. 
In five games in the Majors, Wilson compiled a 1-1 record with a 6.75 ERA and 16 whiffs over 18 2/3 innings. Most recently, he made a spot start for Max Fried after the southpaw went on the injured list with a left index finger blister on July 16. Wilson said returning to the International League proved to be an eye-opening experience. 
"I think going up and down helped me understand what to work on," he noted. "Learning from my starts has helped me get better. When they sent me down (on July 18), they told me they wanted me to work on my breaking balls."
