Things make trade

The Washington Wild Things have completed a trade with the New York Boulders, swapping left-handed pitchers. Washington sent McKenzie Mills to the Boulders in exchange for reliever James Mulry.

Mulry comes to the Wild Things after posting a 4-4 record, one save and 3.83 ERA over 37 games (one start) this season. In 56.1 innings, Mulry allowed 51 hits and walked 17, while striking out 57.

“I was impressed by (Mulry) when he faced us last year,” said pitching coach Alex Boshers. “He’ll be a big piece of the bullpen and add lefty depth to the staff.”

Mills, in his only season with Washington after spending seven years in minor league baseball, was 3-5 with a 3.82 ERA in 17 appearances, 16 of which were starts.
