Duel of the Day

The Duel of the Day was washed out with Hickory and Kannapolis getting rained out. The same duo of Frank Lopez and Andrew Mitchell square off but there's a better match up out there today - Aaron Sanchez vs Jesse Biddle. Sanchez throws for AA New Hampshire with Biddle leading Reading. Sanchez is certainly on a roll by not allowing a run all spring and now during the regular season, a time frame spanning over 20 innings. Biddle was touched up his last time out against Boston's AA affiliate, allowing nine hits and four earnies in 3.1 innings.
