Michael Pineda Strong In Latest Rehab Start

Michael Pineda made his latest rehab assignment start down in Trenton for the Trenton Thunder tram last night and looked strong doing so. Pineda pitched six scoreless innings allowing two singles and two walks and striking out four batters swinging. Pineda through 77 pitches and was seen hitting 92-95 MPH on the radar gun according to Mike Ashmore. Pineda technically has 13 more days left on his 30 day rehab assignment that ends on July 8th so he will probably throw two more starts and a simulated game or something like that before being activated or optioned to the minors.
