Braves Mike Hampton Pitching In Durham Wednesday
Just two days after baseball fans in the Triangle got to watch Tampa Bay Rays ace Scott Kazmir pitch a five-inning gem for the Bulls, another big league left-hander will lace up the cleats for a rehab assignment in the Bull City.
Atlanta Braves All-Star Mike Hampton, who hasn’t pitched since 2005 due to a series of injuries, is scheduled to pitch for the Richmond Braves when they take on the Durham Bulls Wednesday morning at 11:05 AM at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Hampton holds a career record of 138-101 with a 3.97 ERA in 13 seasons with the Seattle Mariners, Houston Astros, New York Mets, Colorado Rockies and Atlanta. He finished second in the Cy Young Award Balloting in 1999 when he finished the season 22-4 with a 2.90 ERA while with Houston and led the Mets to the World Series in 2000 when he went 15-10 with a 3.14 ERA.
Hampton missed the entire 2007 season after being placed on the disabled list on 3/30 with a strained left oblique. He missed the entire 2006 season while rehabilitating from “Tommy John” surgery.
Tickets for Wednesday’s game are available at http://www.dbulls.com/ or by phone at (919) 956-BULL. Weather should be great Wednesday for day baseball!
