CF Melky Mesa: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K — he went back-to-back-to-back with Zoilo and Lyerly, the first time a trio of Trenton teammates did so since Kevin Reese, Robinson Cano, and Jason Grove in April 2004
DH Cody Johnson: 3-4, 2 R, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K — it’s too bad he can’t many any contact, dude’s got some of the biggest raw power in all of baseball

RHP Caleb Cotham: 4 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 3/2 GB/FB — 34 of 58 pitches were strikes (58.6%) … glad to see he’s working as a starter, he’s missed a lot of development time due to injury since being drafted in 2009
RHP Wilton Rodriguez: 3 IP, zeroes, 5 K, 3/1 GB/FB — 24 of 37 pitches were strikes (64.9%) … well hello there
