R.J. Swindle allowed an unearned run and Joe Bateman allowed an earned out of the bullpen... Desmond Jennings went 1-5 with a double... Justin Ruggiano and Alvin Colina each picked up 2 hits...
The Leftovers: For the season, Hellickson is 6-2 with a 3.47 ERA. He's struck out 55 and walked 11 in 50 innings. The difference from last year? Opponents are hitting .268 off him, compared with .178 between Montgomery and Durham last season...

  1. Man I hope this becomes one of those games that Tim Beckham breaks out with.And is there a chance soon Wrigley gets promoted to AA or not?He was hitting better than Sweeney and I know he is older but in my opinion thats more of a reason to propmote him sooner to see if he is real or just living off the lower levels.
