Virgil Vasquez Is Hit Hard In Hens Loss

by @ 5:48 pm. Filed under Derek Wathan, Mike Hessman, Timo Perez, Toledo Mud Hens - May 2008, Virgil Vasquez

Virgil Vasquez’ disappointing season continued as he dropped to 3-5 in the Hens 5-3 loss to Buffalo.  He gave up five runs on eleven hits and a walk with three strikeouts in just five innings.  Vasquez has a 6.22 ERA and while his strikeout to walk ratio of 35/9 is very solid, batters are hitting .324 against him.    And there’s basically no platoon split (just .004) so both righties and lefties are mashing him.

It took Mike Hessman a few days but he finally belted his 20th of the season.  He hit a two run shot while Timo Perez went four for four with a solo homer.  Derek Wathan got a hit in his second straight game since taking over first base for Jeff Larish.
