  • SS Tyler Wade: 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 K
  • 1B Brandon Drury: 0-5, 3 K — third game at first base … 2-for-30 (.067) with ten strikeouts in his last eight games
  • CF Billy McKinney: 2-5, 1 R, 2 K
  • DH Tyler Austin: 0-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K — 7-for-30 (.233) with two walks and 14 strikeouts in eight games since being sent down

Double-A Trenton Thunder (10-3 win over Binghamton)

  • SS Abi Avelino: 3-4, 3 R, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 1 BB — eleven homers in 78 games now … he hit 13 homers in 347 games from 2015-17 … he is this year’s breakout fringe guy who is going to force a 40-man roster decision after the season, like Jake Cave last year and Kyle Higashioka two years ago
  • 1B Gosuke Katoh: 1-2, 2 R, 1 2B, 3 BB, 1 K
  • CF Jeff Hendrix: 1-4, 1 R, 1 3B, 2 RBI, 2 K, 2 E (fielding, throwing)
  • RF Jhalan Jackson: 1-5, 2 RBI, 4 K
  • RHP Domingo Acevedo: 5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 7/4 GB/FB — 50 of 79 pitches were strikes (63%) … 23/11 K/BB in 33 innings so far this year … that swing-and-miss ability just hasn’t been there so far

High-A Tampa Tarpons (10-3 win over Fort Myers)

  • SS Kyle Holder: 3-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 5 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB — 7-for-13 (.
