Blake Aita (Peoria)

Minor League Pitcher of the Day — Blake Aita (Peoria)
Sometimes the box score doesn’t tell the full story — this is one of those times.

Blake Aita gave Peoria a chance, working 3.2 innings while allowing just one earned run and striking out five. He attacked hitters, missed bats, and kept the Chiefs within striking distance early, setting the stage for the late comeback attempt.

For a young arm, that’s the job: compete, limit damage, and hand it off with a chance to win.

Aita did exactly that.
