From Reddick, to Kalish, to Hazelbaker. A pretty good day for the guys running down the flyballs.
Pawtucket W 5-4
Daniel Nava: 2-4, 2B, HR
Lars Anderson: 1-4, 2B, 2 K
Aaron Bates: 1-4, 3 K
Josh Reddick: 2-4, 2B, CS
Jorge Jimenez: 1-4, 2 K
Kris Johnson: 7 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
-Huh...He is actually having an above average season now.
Dustin Richardson: 1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 HR
-To those saying he should be brought up...no.
As you may have inferred, Kalish does well (again) after the jump. Oh geeze, if he's promoted, I'm gonna need a new sub-jump guy! Rizzo? Middlebrooks? My boy Hazelbaker?
Portland W 8-4
Box Score
Still no Iglesias, but X-Rays were negative, so that's good.
Che-Hsuan Lin: 3-5
Ryan Kalish: 2-4, 3B, HR, K, R
-If the Sox don't promote his soonish, they know something we don't.
Luis Exposito: 0-4, 2 K
-Not an impressive campaign from Expo. With Ibarra on the way, his position in the organization might be getting a bit less concrete.
Yamaico Navarro: 2-3, BB
-Needs to start hitting righties. He's got incredible numbers against lefties, but righties dominate him.
Kyle Weiland: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 5 K
-2 straight wild games from the usually controlled Weiland.
Salem L 3-7
Pete Hissey: 2-5
Oscar Tejeda: 2-5, HR, 2 K
-I keep waiting for his BABIP (~.400) to come down, but it hasn't yet. And there's no faking those bombs, really.
Will Middlebrooks: 1-5, 2B, 2 K
-First 2+ bagger in a long while.
Ryan Lavarnway: 2-4, BB, POCS
Caleb Clay: 5 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 4 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Greenville W 6-1
Jeremy Hazelbaker: 2-5, 2B, 3B, K
Derrik Gibson: 2-5, 2B, K
Chris McGuiness: 3-5, 2 2B, K
Michael Almanzar: 3-5, 2 2B, K
Yeiper Castillo: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K
-Could also use a promotion. Has good numbers in all the right areas.
