Patrick Copen...AGAIN! 6.1IP | 1H | 0R | 9Ks | 3BB The 9 Ks is a high for Copen at the AA level, and the ONLY hit he gave up was to the 3rd hitter of the game. He also struck out 8 of the 9 hitters in the Frisco lineup, and just didn't give up much hard contact at all. He got the W to move to 3-0, and ironically, it's his 2nd outing this year that he's gone EXACTLY 6.1 innings, given up EXACTLY 1 hit, and struck out EXACTLY 9 hitters. He did that two starts ago on April 10th as well at Springfield, against a really good Cardinals lineup. ERA is down to 1.23, average against is .149, WHIP is 1.05, and he has 31 Ks in 22 innings. AS A STARTER! Cutter looked great, especially to lefties to get underneath their bats. The fastball was explosive, as evidenced by the fact that it recorded his 1st 4 Ks., His breaking ball had GREAT depth, and he also landed a change for strike 1, too. This is what you call stuff meeting execution, and when that happens, it's ADIOS! Atta Baby Cope, Keep Ringin' that Cowbell, my man!#dodgers #dodgersprospects

Dadgummit! Patrick Copen just gave up a broken bat hit to break up his NO-HITTER. It was the 7th, so I doubt he would have been allowed to go 9, but that would have been a very interesting decision to monitor. How it ended, the hit took the decision away from Manager Eric Wedge, and Copen came out immediately. Breakdown on his start coming up. #dodgersprospects

Patrick Copen turned in another good start for AA Tulsa 6IP 2H 2R 5Ks 2BB Good efficiency at just under 15 pitches an inning, the fastball was big, the cutter/slider worked the perimeter well. Copen has 111 Ks in 82.1 innings pitched, and has his ERA down to 2.30. He's given up just 3 runs in his last 14 innings, 4 runs in his last 19 innings, and 8 runs in his last 29 innings. #dodgers

Patrick Copen turned in another GREAT outing for Rancho. 7 IP 3 H 0 R 4 Ks 1 BB ERA down to 2.93, 31 Ks on the year to just 13 BBs. 2nd start in a row he has not allowed a run (12 IP). 4S, 2S, Cutter, Slider Curve, change & so big & very explosive mix. Stay Tuned! #dodgers

Patrick Copen was dominant for Rancho last night, AGAIN. 5 IP 0 R 0 H 6 Ks 2 BB Gained about 15 pounds of muscle in the off season, velo 94-97, 4S, 2S, Cutter, Slider & Curveball. Gonna be fun watching this dude get better & better. Already has bigtime explosive stuff. #dodgers
