Coming on in relief of starter R.A. Dickey, Barnes started the bottom of the eighth inning and got the first batter he faced, George Springer, to pop out to shortstop. Alex Bregman followed by striking out swinging and then, after Jose Altuve singled to left field, Carlos Correa struck out swinging to end the threat.? |
Player Notes
| The New York-born Ivy Leaguer’s big league debut came in a low-scoring game that featured only five pitchers, but two of them were making their MLB debuts – Barnes for the Jays and Joe Musgrove for the Astros. Looking at his stats for the first half of 2016, they certainly indicate why the Jays called up the Princeton product (and only lead one to wonder what took so long). Barnes brings a career 2.45 ERA into his big league debut, and in his pro career overall had struck out 406 batters and walked just 88 in 312.1 IP. In 2015 at New Hampshire, he was 3-2 with a 2.97 ERA in 40 games, fanning 74 and walking 19 in 61 innings. |
