Yarbrough fired seven shutout innings for Triple-A Durham against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the opening game of its best-of-five playoff series Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Yarbrough allowed just three hits and recorded four strikeouts while not issuing any walks during what ultimately was a 6-0 victory. The 25-year-old southpaw provided provided plenty of reason for optimism in his first Triple-A campaign in 2017, posting a 13-6 record, 3.43 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 159:39 K:BB over 157.1 innings.
