Greg Golson, RF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 3 K – threw a runner out at second
Jesus Montero, DH: 0 for 4 – .000/.000/.000 in his last four at-bats, so he’s slumping again

Pants Lendleton, RHP: 6 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 6-5 GB/FB – 64 of 94 pitches were strikes (68.1%) … just 31 K in 45.2 IP with SWB this year (6.1 K/9)

Austin Romine, C: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K, 1 PB – ten for his last 34 (.294), though there’s a lot of days off in there (All-Star break, Futures Game, etc)

Zach Wilson, DH, Nick McCoy, C & Ali Castillo, 3B: all 1 for 4 – Wilson walked twice and struck out … McCoy walked … Castillo doubled, walked, scored two runs, drove in another, and struck out twice
Cody Grice, LF-CF: 0 for 4, 1 BB, 1 K
Reymond Nunez, 1B: 3 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 K – got a nice little six game hitting streak going … his profile pic says “I’m all business,” doesn’t it?
