Nick Solak lost his on-base streak Wednesday, but what happened Thursday is significantly more interesting. If he can play center field, he becomes a lot more interesting — not that he isn’t already.
Speaking of infielders in center field, Andrew Velazquez has a .797 OPS for Durham. It’s only 86 at-bats, and he had an on-base percentage under .300 last season. Injuries have affected his Rays career.
Triple-A Durham Bulls (24-14)
Durham held on for a 6-4 win in the resumption of Wednesday’s suspended game against Louisville. The Bulls led 3-0 when the game was suspended, and back-to-back homers from Jeremy Hazelbaker and Andrew Velazquez made it 6-0 in the fourth.
