Not so good. With the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes (Short-Season Class A - Keizer, Oregon). 1 inning, 3 hits, 1 earned run, 9.00 ERA http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2018_06_30_skvasx_vanasx_1&t=g_box&sid=t578 Let's hope for better days.

It really isn't bad. Kid got one inning and gave up a run. His team took the lead back the next half inning and yet they pulled him. New pitcher gave up a home run to the first and third hitters he faced and Hjelle's team ended up losing 3-2. Not sure why they pulled a starter after one inning where he gave up just one run.
Probably yanked because it was his first pro start shortly removed from a college season. I’m sure he was on a very low pitch count just to see how he fares. They don’t want him coming in and throwing 70-80 pitches right out of the chute. I’m sure his leash will get longer and longer with each outing.
No you are right. They should have stuck with him. "A" ball is about developing players, not wins and losses. I wonder if there is some other reason he was yanked that isn't reflected in the box score.
He is still pitching 2 innings or less at a time. Also, Lewis hasn't pitched at all and Hakke has only pitched once. I am starting to worry about all three of them.
