Two More Outs
Phillip Hughes started his rehabilitation assignment Monday night, and pitched two no-hit innings. Given that in his last outing in the majors he pitched 6 1/3 innings of no-hit ball, he needs two more outs for the no-hitter!
"I was a little tentative in the first inning, but that's to be expected," said Hughes, who threw 20 of 36 pitches for strikes and had his fastball reach 94 mph. "The second inning I felt a lot more comfortable. I was kind of letting it go and not really thinking about landing as much on my front foot or anything like that."
Hughes said he was encouraged that his ankle and hamstring held up well.
"I didn't feel a thing out there so it was good," Hughes said.
