Stolmy Pimentel: 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, E
-Amazing that Stolmy finally has a good game...and still earns the loss based on the unearned run stemming from his own error.
Greenville W 8-4
Sean Coyle: 3-5, HR, K
-Coyle is getting back to what he was doing earlier in the year. For the better after a terrible June, to be sure.

Portland W 11-1
Jeremy Hazelbaker: 2-6, 2 K
Chih-Hsien Chiang: 2-3, 2 BB
-Quietly continues his rather ridiculous season. Except now his OBP is up around .400 thanks to a .500 mark in July.
Will Middlebrooks: 2-6, 2B, K
-Has taken over the top spot on SoxProspects.com. Seems a bit extreme to me, but not undeserved. Middlebrooks has a 1.014 OPS in July, has been showing more power than ever before, and still plays a plus defensive third. Definitely looking like the post-Youkilis future at the position right now.
Junichi Tazawa: 4 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 1 HR
-Slowly getting stretched back to a standard number of innings.
