After suffering from a back issue kept him sidelined for almost a month, former Watson Chapel star Tink Hence will make a start tonight for the Springfield Cardinals at OneOk Field in Tulsa against the rival Drillers.
Last week, Hence started against Corpus Christi but was kept on a pitch count of 25. He faced only six batters and struck out four of those before his night ended. Hence, the top pitching prospect for St. Louis is 4-2 on the season with an ERA of 3.29.
