Daniel Ponce de Leon Goes Five Strong Innings On Monday
4 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Daniel Ponce de Leon pitched well in his first start of the season on Monday. Taking on the Miami Marlins, Ponce de Leon went five innings, allowing just one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three. He threw almost all fastballs, but he kept getting the Marlins hitters to swing under the ball and induced seven fly outs to just four ground outs. That'll work well in a giant ballpark like loanDepot park, but it could lead to some ugly outings at more hitter-friendly confines. Still, it's a positive sign from Ponce de Leon, who will get the Brewers in St. Louis his next time out.
