Midwest League
Tyrell Jenkins, Peoria
(1-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G, 1 GS, 1 CG, 1 SHO, 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 HR, 0 HBP, 1 BB, 5 K)
Cardinals No. 7 prospect Tyrell Jenkins had neither reached the sixth inning nor allowed fewer than three runs in any of his first four starts. Indeed, the right-hander had never pitched past the sixth inning in his four years as a pro. That changed drastically on Sunday afternoon as the 20-year-old Texan went the distance in a nine-inning three-hit shutout of visiting Fort Wayne. Jenkins fanned five, walked one and at one point set down 16 TinCaps in a row. Though the gem was Jenkins' first win of the season, he felt it was only a precursor of what's to come, telling MiLB.com, "This is just a starting point and I'll try to throw a no-hitter next time out on Friday."
