It was just Tim Delgado's second start after his promotion to AA. But he showed why he got moved up.
Delgado pitched eight full innings, giving up just five hits and two runs, earning praise from his manager Tommy Jones, according to The Orlando Sentinel.
"He pitched a very good ballgame,'' Jones told The Sentinel of Delgado. "He kept the ball down, and he mixed his speeds well. If he can continue to do that, he should be successful in this league."
Delgado ended up getting just four other starts for Orlando that year, seven other outings in his fourth season as a pro. It was also Delgado's final season as a pro.
