Scott pitched 7 innings, with 101 pitches thrown, 63 for strikes, 38 balls, 5 hits, 0 runs. Scott has now pitched 14 straight shut out innings in his 2 starts. Great Game Scotty and thanks for making Mother's Day so much fun for all us mothers!!

Tonight was a fun night at Target Field. Scott Diamond was in command for all 7 innings he pitched allowing 0 runs, 4 hits, one walk and 6 strike outs. Scott is the first starting pitcher to pitch for the Twins this season without allowing a run!! With some great hitting and great defense the crowd all finally went home happy!!

It is official!! Congratulations Scott for your promotion to Minnesota!

Scott pitched 3 stong innings against the Empire State Yankees tonight. A great outing, but short. Scott allowed 3 hits, 0 runs, 2 base on balls - one intentional and 2 strikeouts with his ERA now at 2.60. Rumors are running in Rochester that Scott is being called up to Minnesota, so that is why he pitched a shortened game tonight. If that is the case we are proud of Scott and wish him the best.

Sunday April 29 A game that started with so much promise, finished as a disappointing first loss:-( After failing to get any of the first 10 batters to first base, the Buffalo Bisons put on their timely-hitting shoes and touched Scott for 7 runs on 11 hits over 6.1 innings. 6 strikeouts and 0 walks are the best parts of this game. A great game to put behind you, Scott!!

He uses his height to advantage by coming over the top and adding a downward trajectory to all 4 pitches. He needs to keep the ball down consistently.
