Cishek, Teague Performing Well In Minors
July 16, 2007
JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn.-- Former Eagles Matt Teague and Steve Cishek continue to perform well in their minor league debuts.
Cishek, a fifth round draft pick of the Florida Marlins in the 2007 MLB Draft, has pitched 10 2/3 innings for the Jamestown (NY) Jammers. He has earned two saves with 10 strikeouts and an 0.84 ERA. Both saves were earned in his last two appearances against the Brooklyn Cyclones and the Hudson Valley Renegades. He has only given up one earned run while walking just four batters.
The left-handed Teague, an eighth round selection of the San Diego Padres, will likely get the start tonight for the Eugene (OR) Emeralds against the Vancouver Canadians. Teague earned his first win against the Yakima (WA) Bears on July 3 after pitching the final 2 1/3 innings, giving up just one earned run and striking out three batters in an 11-4 win. He is currently 1-0 with a 2.93 ERA in 15 1/3 innings. He has walked just one batter while striking out 18 batters.
