Crain back, Mulvey sent down
Jesse Crain has been brought back up to the Majors after a stint in Triple which saw him post a 1-0 record with a 2.55 ERA in 17 2/3 innings. This is a complete turnaround from the 2-3 record and 8.15 ERA in the same amount of innings with the Twins in the first half of the season. It is hopeful that Crain can help a struggling and depleted bullpen as they work their way through the final part of their 10-game road trip.
Kevin Mulvey has been sent down to Triple-A to make room for Crain. Mulvey made only two appearances with the Twins since being called up, one against the Rangers where he threw four pitches and worked 1/3 of an inning, the other was against the Athletics where he gave up four runs off six hits in a single inning of work to inflate his ERA from 0.00 to 27.00 in a matter of 29 pitches. Mulvey, who led the Rochester Redwings in strike outs, faced 10 batters and had no strike outs while with the club.
Crain will join the Twins for the series opener against the Los Angeles Angels.
