Big League Rehab:
Quality Widener: Taylor Widener turned in his first quality start of the season tonight against Round Rock throwing six innings allowing two earned runs on four hits with nine strikeouts and no walks. It is the first time Widener has reached the sixth inning in 2019 and his first quality start since August 26, 2018 while pitching for Double-A Jackson. He earned a loss that day against the Birmingham Barons going six innings while giving up two earned runs. The Barons won 2-0.
Off to San Antonio: The Aces will face the San Antonio Missions for the first time in franchise history tomorrow night.
