So since Brew has been off the DL with the Salem Red Sox he has had 3 outings. The first inning in another post as you saw, he gave up one run. First time in 3 weeks he pitched, moving on...
The next two times he pitched the last 3 innings of each game! He typically does not pitch 3 straight innings as a closer/reliever. So that was exciting. The first one was against the Lynchburg Hillcats. He pitched 3 solid innings with only 1 walk and 5 strikeouts!
Some Tweets and articles read:
"Ruben Flores has struck out four in two perfect innings out of the Salem Sox bullpen... Salem leads 6-3"
"Ruben Flores became Mr. Perfect in the final three innings tonight, retiring all nine batters he faced with five strikeouts. Salem wins 6-3!"
"Flores arrived in the last of the fifth and slammed the door shut, dealing three
perfect innings out of the pen to earn his first Carolina League win. Flores
struck out five and now has 23 strikeouts and just one walk on the season."
The last game he pitched was against the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. He pitched another 3 solid and scoreless innings! He current has a 2.00 ERA and is doing great! So happy to see him doing well! Hopefully he pitches a lot when the girls and I visit for All Star Break so I can see him kick some ***! So proud of my husband! He wont always be perfect, he wont always throw strikeouts and have perfect innings, but his determination and heart on the mound is always there. To me, that's all that matters and I am always proud.
