Jensen Lewis Makes Annual Visit to Triple-A

We will likely never know the answer, but if the decision to send Jensen Lewis to Columbus was made before yesterday, he surely didn’t help his case very much by walking the first two batters he faced in yesterday’s 9-2 win over Cincinnati.

Lewis (2-3, 5.03 ERA) will head down Rt. 71 to make room for the recently added Jose Veras.

The walks and the home run ball have been the bane of Lewis’ existence.  Around this point last season, Lewis was sent to Buffalo for a similar stint.  He returned to the club later in the year and proceeded to lead the league in saves.  Now, I wouldn’t anticipate a similar role – assuming he can collect himself with the Clippers – but perhaps simply throwing the ball over the plate and not allowing it to go over the outfield fence would be a start.

At least this gives DP another player to skewer over the next few weeks…
