John Richy improved to 4-4 in Clearwater and has 3 quality starts in his last 4. The bullpen made it interesting despite being given a 11-2 lead. Aaron Brown comes off the DL, is assigned to Clearwater and hits his 1st HR last night. Derek Campbell added two himself, his 10th and 11th of the season. His 11th was a grandslam in the 5th inning. Malquin Canelo is batting .371 in his last 10 games. Carlos Tocci is figuring things out at the plate, slashing .284/.338/.361 with 3 HR and 12 SB on the season. Can we just not do the whole OPS thing with him today?
