Reegie Corona, 2B: 2 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI – seven for his last 20 (.350)
Eduardo Nunez, SS: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 SB, 1 E (throwing) - just his third start at short in his last seven games … playing a lot of third base recently
Juan Miranda, DH & Jesus Montero, C: both 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Jorge Vazquez, 1B: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K
Chad Huffman, RF: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K
Eric Bruntlett, 3B: 3 for 4, 3 R, 2 HR, 2 RBI – heh, maybe he wants Ramiro Pena‘s job
Greg Golson, CF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 K
Zach McAllister: 4 IP, 10 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 4-6 GB/FB – 47 of 71 pitches were strikes (66.2%) … 110 H allowed in 95 IP
Romulo Sanchez: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 3-1 GB/FB – 20 of 27 pitches were strikes (74.1%)
Boone Logan: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 4-2 GB/FB – 16 of his 27 pitches were strikes (59.3%)
Eric Wordekemper: 0 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1 WP – just half of his 16 pitches were strikes … that’s going to kill his trade value

Justin Snyder, 2B & Jack Rye, LF: both 1 for 3, 1 K – Snyder walked twice, Rye once
Austin Romine, DH & Brandon Laird, 3B: both 0 for 5 – Romine K’ed twice, Laird thrice … the team has a long trip from Akron to Bowie (Maryland) tonight, and I suspect Romine won’t even bother making the trip … no point in having him make such a long bus trip when he needs to fly to Anaheim for the Futures Game at some point very soon
Dan Brewer, CF & Marcos Vechionacci, 1B: both 1 for 4 - Brewer walked & K’ed … Vech hit a solo homer & K’ed twice

Ronny Marte: 3.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 3 WP, 6-2 GB/FB – not sure why he started, it was supposed to be Sean Black’s turn … that’s odd
Dickie Marquez: 1.2 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 3-1 GB/FB – oof
Ben Watkins: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HB, 5-0 GB/FB
