Otero Comes To Town: Andy Otero turned in another scoreless long relief appearance for the Shuckers on Thursday night, pitching 3.0 innings while picking up his first Double-A win... Since joining the Shuckers on May 20, Otero has made 7 scoreless appearances and pitched at least two innings in each of his last five outings. Long Ball Blues: Biloxi has allowed 65 home runs this year, the 4th most in all of Minor League Baseball (1st - Las Vegas: 79) and the most in Double-A...
