This installment of “10 Questions” features one of the T-Bones top pitchers in 2012, Brian Grening, who won his 10th game of the season on Sunday. Grening spent the majority of his professional career as a reliever, including a game with Triple-A Columbus in the Cleveland system, before T-Bones manager Kenny Hook decided to convert him to a starter in 2012. With his final start of 2012 on Sunday night at Sioux City, in which he struck out 13 Explorers, Grening finished the season with a 10-5 record and 113 strike outs, which is currently tied for tops in the American Association.
