BY SCOTT LAUBERDUNEDIN, Fla. -- So, I know y'all were following along on Twitter, but I figured I'd post this here, too. J.A. Happ's line today in a triple-A game against the Blue Jays: 5.1 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 94 pitches (54 strikes).
That said, he pitched better than his line.
Happ labored through the first inning, throwing 31 pitches and allowing three runs. Then again, he could've had a much easier time if he'd gotten a strike call on a borderline full-count pitch to J.P. Arencibia. Instead, he issued a one-out walk, then allowed three straight RBI hits.
But he retired 13 of the next 14 batters and came out for the sixth inning. He walked the leadoff batter, allowed a single and struck out Nick Gorneault. Having reached his pitch count, he was relieved by Joe Bisenius, who allowed both inherited runners to score on a looper to left field.

Pedro Feliz went 0-for-6 with two strikeouts in the same game.
