Jordan Lyles had himself a good time last night at the Futures Game, throwing a scoreless inning.
Lyles:
“I thought there might have been a little more butterflies. I was trying to take in the experience running onto the field. The big stadium, the big fans. It’s something I’ll never forget. It’s a privilege to be here. I feel honored that the Astros selected me to represent them. It’s a great experience."
Ricky Bennett:
“His aptitude and ability to make adjustments make him special. Jordan is a big leaguer. It is just a matter of time. Who knows, we might have to challenge him before the end of the year, whether that is at the Triple-A level or major-league level because of how well he has performed. Jordan is a big leaguer. It is just a matter of time.”
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
