Jake Arrieta worked 7 scoreless innings for AAA Norfolk last night. Arrieta allowed just 2 hits, 2 walks, and struck-out 6.
It was Arrieta’s 4th straight outing of at-least 6 innings. In that time, Arrieta has worked 26 innings, allowed 20 hits, 5 er, 6 walks, with 23 k’s.
With the outing, Arrieta has now seen his AAA era dip under 4, at 3.92.
Arrieta has pitched a combined 141.2 innings at Bowie and Norfolk in 2009.
In 2008, Arrieta pitched 113 innings, not including International play. The O’s want to hold pitchers to 25-30 innings of more work per year, so you would assume Arrieta will be shut-down at the end of the AAA season.
