Howard on Fire, Strikes out 15 Cardinals Saturday, July 20th , 2024 Everything was working for Brian Howard at Dickey-Stephens Park. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 29-year-old Howard fanned 15 Cardinals and sparked the 4-0 Arkansas Travelers victory over Springfield. He left Cardinals hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. "I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Arkansas manager . "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 7 innings, Howard allowed 3 hits and no walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Howard said with a smile. To date this season, Howard sports a 7-5 mark with a 2.75 ERA in 19 starting assignments. He has held the opposition to a .239 batting average and has 153 strikeouts in 111.1 innings. |
