As the season winds down, there are still achievements to make, and Grant McCray hit a big round number for the first time with his stolen bases despite a decidedly mixed season. Tyler Fitzgerald prompts more questions of “Why isn’t this guy being given a chance” with another home run. And San Jose has a great pitching day.

High-A: Everett 6, Eugene 5
Top Eugene Performances:
- Damon Dues was the only Emerald with multiple hits, going 2-for-4 with a double. The box score shows him as not starting the game, coming in to play defense in the bottom of the second, but he was playing the field in the bottom of the first, so that might be an error.
- DH Matt Higgins had the other double for Eugene, going 1-for-3 with a HBP and a strikeout. Higgins is hitting just .212/.303/.346 in 31 games, with five doubles and three home runs at Eugene.
- Center fielder Grant McCray went 1-for-3 with two walks, and stole two bases. McCray reached 50 steals on the season, in 123 games on 59 attempts, with 25 doubles, six triples, and 13 home runs, with a batting line of .256/.360/.413.
- Reliever Eric Silva struck out four in 2.0 innings of work, giving up just one hit. That inches his Eugene ERA down to 6.08 with 71 strikeouts to 37 walks in 74.0 innings of work.

Low-A: San Jose 5, Stockton 0
Top San Jose Performances:
- Starting pitcher Nomar Medina led a strong showing by the San Jose pitching staff, throwing 5.0 shutout innings, allowing only three hits while striking out five. Since the start of July, Medina has only had three starts without allowing a run, all for 5.0 innings. His ERA dropped to 5.19 in 25 games, 14 starts, with 77 strikeouts to 46 walks in 95.1 innings.
- Reliever Tyler Vogel also struck out five in just 3.0 innings, allowing only one hit. Through 38 relief appearances, Vogel now has 86 strikeouts to 34 walks in 63.1 innings, with a 4.41 ERA.
- Third baseman Justin Wishkoski got his first home run in San Jose, going 1-for-3 with a walk. The 16th round pick has struggled in nine games at High-A since getting promoted, going just 3-for-31 with four walks and four strikeouts, and his one home run his only extra-base hit.
- Center fielder Turner Hill went 1-for-3 with a walk, and a stolen base. Hill now has 27 steals in 35 attempts, in 71 games at Low-A this season. He’s hitting .286/.375/.366 on the season.
