Friday night I made the trip down to Louisville for the Bats double header that saw Tony Cingrani and Robert Stephenson start the two games. Cingrani joined the Bats for the day on a rehab assignment and threw 2.0 hitless innings with a walk and three strikeouts. He sat in the 89-92 MPH range for the game with his fastball and looked good in his two innings. Robert Stephenson had his start interrupted by rain in the first inning, but made it through 5.0 innings with two earned runs, three walks and six strikeouts in his Triple-A debut. There will be a full report on the start by Stephenson on Monday, with video, but for now here are the post game thoughts from each when they talked with the media.
