Flash Get First Look at Navarre

The Philadelphia Flash are alone atop the NL East for the first time this season after a 3-0 win over the Buffalo Hot Wings. However, that doesn't mean the road gets any easier, as the Flash will now square off against newly-acquired SP Midre Navarre in the second game of the Hot Wings series. Navarre was traded from the Kansas City Monarchs to Buffalo during this year's winter meetings.

Navarre spent 2 years in Kansas City being the second ace behind SP Benny Pujols (who also moved on this season, via free agency). Navarre went 40-13 for the Monarchs for a lofty .755 win percentage as a starter. A season ago he was a dominating 23-5, including a 3.29 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP, as well as pitching his team to two wins in the World Series.

In 2 starts with his new team, he has shut down the other teams in the division, the Charlotte Webs (4.0 IP, 1 ER) and the Washington D.C. Senators (7.0 IP, 1R, 0 ER).
