Another summary:
Amir Garrett, lhp, Reds. The 6-foot-5 former basketball star has been so good this season that he allowed one earned run Monday in five innings and his ERA rose. Garrett struck out seven and walked two as Double-A Pensacola beat Birmingham (White Sox). Garrett has 31 strikeouts in 30 innings, walking just six. Garrett can dominate with a 94-96 mph heater that he locates to both sides of the plate. His slider also flashes plus, but its quality varies significantly from start to start. His command, an issue in the past (3.6 walks per nine innings), has looked much-improved through five starts.
