Carson Mixon picks up his second straight Rookie of the Month award with his month of transition from the Stopper role to a spot in the rotation.
His first start started well but he got clobbered in the 9th though the Metros still claimed the win thanks to a big lead. He'll go on to give up a lot of hits in his next two starts but his command was tight and he managed to restrict runners coming home to pick up the wins for the Metros.
We'll see if he's kept in the rotation. It's likely not his natural spot with a limited pitch arsenal at his disposal. Fred Alltop is due back from injury soon so Mixon might find himself back in the bullpen.
