  • Marco Luciano went 2-for-5, with two more doubles to give him seven on the season, but broke his streak of games with home runs at three.  Luciano’s batting line is up to .312/.372/.569.
  • Casey Schmitt hit his 5th double of the season while going 2-for-4.  Schmitt had three multi-hit games over the last four, and his batting average is up to .340, the highest it’s been since mid-April.  He leads the league in average, nearly 30 points above his nearest competitior, and also still leads the league in on-base percentage, slugging, and is tied for the league lead in home runs, with Luciano and Everertt’s Spencer Packard with seven.
  • Jimmy Glowenke hit his 4th home run of the year, and his second in five games.  Glowenke is just 15-for-83 on the year, for a .181 batting average.
