**LHP Easton Lucas (27)** in AAA since being acquired via waivers from DET:
* 19.2 IP, 3 ER, 8 H, 5 BB & 21 SO.
* 1.37 ERA / 2.35 FIP, .123 OBA & 0.66 WHIP
* He has allowed just 1 H over his last 14.0 innings.
He has been good in AAA all season but has been extra good since joining Buffalo.
At the Major League level this season OAK gave up on him after allowing 6 ER in 3.2 IP and DET gave up on him after allowing 2 ER in 3.1 IP. Despite a season 10.29 ERA in those innings he had a respectable 3.46 FIP.
Always neat when a waiver acquisition gets off to a running start. Maybe he will stick around with his 2 years of options remaining.
On a side note C Payton Henry returned from the 60-Day IL after being hit in the back of the head with a backswing on May 31st. Good to see him doing alright as it was rather scary.
Time to take care of business and avoid the sweep. Simple as that.
