Seth McClung Coming Into His Own for Devil Rays
After a history of false starts, injuries and other setbacks, Tampa Bay pitcher Seth McClung may finally be coming into his own. The 25-year-old, 6 foot 6, 235-pound righty earned five saves and a win while posting a 2.20 ERA and 1.10 whip in 14 games for the Durham Bulls, a performance that has earned him a callup and a probable chance to close a game or two for the parent club. McClung appears fully recovered from 2004 Tommy John surgery.
