Does feel like he has more power from the right side maybe.

Bases loaded, exactly where we wanted them. The one run was on a sac fly in game 1.

Well hit RBI double for Quero. This team is fun.

Colson looks mildly annoyed with every ball thrown off the plate to him, but doesn't still shy away from taking close pitches for a walk. Just such an impressive approach.

Nastrini finishes at 5.2IP, 3ER, 4H, 2BB, 8K. He looked good, but the velo was down a couple ticks at the end. 90ish pitches.

I feel like Colson has to be getting bored with free bases. just 4 hits in August, but a ridiculous near .500 OBP thanks to 7 BBs and 5(!) HBPs. Throw him strikes! On the bright side, 3 of the 4 hits are XBH. 2 doubles and a HR.

Batista done after 5IP. 7H, 3ER, 6K, 0BB. I like the stuff.

Oh my word, Veras just destroyed his first Barons HR.

Should have been 1, but Popeye bobbled a DP ball. He has 4Ks through 2IP, throws a lot of fastballs, sitting 96. Ramos shows him some love with a go ahead bomb.

Batista looks pretty good. Just one hit through 3IP, though it did score (single, WP, would be DP ball that advanced the runner, sac fly). Struck out the side in the 3rd, 4Ks total. No walks.

This guy went 3-4 today.

Speaking of good pitching lines, Schweitzer also turned in a gem. 6IP, 0ER, 4H, 2BB, 2K. He was in line for the W, as the Dash led 3-0 into the 9th, but Eric Adler couldn't hold the lead in a rare bad outing. The bats pick him up by adding on 2 in extras, and given a second chance in the 10th, he holds on. Dash win 5-4. Willits was 2-4 with a RBI in his WS debut. Baldwin was 1-4 with a RBI and run scored. Dash offensive mainstays Burke (1-4, 2BB, 1R) and Chapelli (2-4, 1BB, 1R) also had good nights.

Mena's great outing is ended by the ump show. Strikes out the first two he faces in the 7th. Makes a perfect pitch on 2-2 for what should have been the last out to K the side. He starts walking off the mound, but doesn't get the call and the offended ump doesn't give him the next call either. Both were strikes, but the batter walks and he gets the hook. Still, 6.2IP, 4H, 2ER, 4H, 2BB, 10K.

3rd Round pick Seth Keener with his second appearance in AZ. 2IP, 1ER, 1H, 1BB, 1K. The run scored on a two out wild pitch. Oppor on now.

Leasure with his first scoreless outing for the Knights. Gave up a double to Vaughn Grissom, but pitched around it.

Lots of hitter hype, but let it not be lost that Drew McDaniel shoved for 6IP scoreless on 2H, 1BB, 5K.

Baldwin gets his first WS hit, an RBI single in his second AB. Scores Kath (2B). Michael Turner, suddenly buried under our newly acquired catching depth, follows with a 2RBI single scoring Burke and Chappy (both walked). Dash up 3-0. The whole farm is on a heater, I guess.

Quero just missed a slam, settles for a 2RBI double off the wall. Scores Colson (BB) and Ramos (1B).

Ha, even minor league commentators are dragging the O's. Dan Helotie made a comment about the Shorebirds being at the bottom of the league, and snarked that he hoped they wouldn't suspend him for it.

2K's for Mena in a 1-2-3 first.

Ramos ? early

Elko up to Bham today! Also, Brooks Baldwin up to WS, and recent acquisition Aldrin Batista to Kanny. He'll start tomorrow.
