Boy oh boy, 20 runs. Nothing to talk about on the pitching side, aside from Shuck tossing an inning (a perfect one, how about that?) Four game hit streak for Barnes, a .862 OPS over his last ten games. Paredes is also on a four game hit streak with seven hits in that span. Five game hit streak for F-Mart, he's hitting .406/.441/.500 over his last ten games. Wallace has a 1.169 OPS over his last ten games.
Much better start for Doran in his second outing in AA, quality start and no walks. 1.6 BB/9 in his first two starts. Villar is hitting .304 during his last six games. Four game hit streak for Muren, he's hitting .326/.383/.418 since his promotion, still looking for his first AA homer. Nine walks in Singleton's last ten games, he's whiffed six times in his last four games though.
Santana has 12 hits in the last seven games, and is hitting .317/.383/.463 over his last ten games. King George has a .325/.417/.450 line during his last ten games, with a bomb, a triple and three steals.
First non-quality start for Folty since May 19th, it was a nice run. Fortunately we still seem improvements; working six innings and not walking a ton of people despite not being at his best is a great sign, we didn't see this last season. Now has a 2.51 ERA, 3.3 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 96.2 IP. How about DeShields? No hits, one walk, and he still manages to swipe three. Electric. 57-for-65 (87.7%) now in SB attempts. He's also walked nine times in ten games.
Great day for in Tri-City. Velasquez was excellent again, first six inning start since the TJ surgery. Currently has a 1.76 ERA, 8.2 H/9, 1.8 BB/9 and 9.4 K/9 through his first three starts, awesome to see. Gulbransen is hitting .344/.488/.594 during his first ten pro games, wow. And the first bomb for him. Elkins has a .938 OPS during his first twelve games; he's only walked twice, but he's also only whiffed four times. Slam for Morales, second bomb in nine games; he has a .977 OPS during nine games this year. We saw solid average and good OBP from him in the past, but power was the question; now he's showing that too early on. 1.091 OPS for Aplin during his first 11 pro games.
Nice day for Ovando, .364/.408/.523 in 11 games this season. Another bomb for Martinez today; he is hitting .313/.378/.531 in his first nine pro games. Another strong start for Richard Rodriguez, he has a 2.65 ERA, 2.1 BB/9 and 11.7 K/9 in his first three starts, very nice.
