Up
Durham Bulls - SS Reid Brignac: Went 3-6, all three hits for extra bases(two doubles and a home run). Brignac has been spraying line drives early in the season, and has an .872 OPS to show for it. His plate approach still isn't ideal, but he's hitting very well so far this year.
Charlotte Stone Crabs - LHP Darin Downs: Went the distance, allowing 3 runs(2 earned) on 6 hits. He struck out 7 and didn't walk any. In two starts, he has a 1.93 ERA and a 15-0 K-BB rate.
Down
Durham Bulls - OF Justin Ruggiano: Just can't seem to get going this year, taking an 0-5.
Charlotte Stone Crabs - SS Shawn O'Malley: 1-5 at the plate and committed his 4th error in the field.
