Rookie left-hander Sam Hentges will make his sixth career big league start on Saturday afternoon for the Cleveland Indians when they face the Minnesota Twins in the third game of their four-game weekend series in Minneapolis.
Indians manager Terry Francona can only hope that Hentges comes close to pitching as well as he did in his last start at Target Field.
That would have been on June 17, 2014, when the 6-foot-6 Hentges allowed five hits and struck out eight while tossing seven shutout innings and leading Mounds View High School from Arden Hills, Minn., to a 9-0 win over Eden Prairie in the state Class AAA championship game.
