  • Prelander Berroa had a rough start, allowing five runs on four hits, three walks, and a hit batter, but most notably he had some trouble getting strikeouts, with only three.  He’s had 110 strikeouts to 41 walks in 78.2 innings.  He’s hit only four batters all season, but two came in the last two games against Rancho Cucamonga.
