Prior's 2nd Outing is Mixed Bag
Submitted by Charles Rector on Sat, 2006-06-03 20:31.
Bad News: Mark Prior lost his 2nd start and now has a 2006 Midwest League record of 0-2.
Good News: This time around, Prior lasted 5 full innings and gave up only 3 hits and 0 walks resulting in only 1 ER. Prior also recorded 5 strikeouts.
This is decent overall and if he can keep this up, in a couple weeks or so, he should be in a Cubs uniform at Wrigley Field.

Better than a mixed bag
I'd call this better than a mixed bag. The only time Prior had trouble was the first two batters in the 4th inning, when he allowed back-to-back doubles for his only run allowed. He then struck out the next three hitters.
That Peoria didn't score any runs themselves wasn't Prior's fault.
It'll be interesting to hear what the velocity reports will say.
90 a few times
Prior apparently only hit 90mph a few times, according to the Chicago Tribune.
