Game 1 of Peoria's DH was suspended and game 2 was rained out.

 

Nick Struck with a stellar outing for Daytona - 6 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K, 6-1 GO-FO. Some power out of Rubi Silva as he hit a HR and a double.

 

Daytona has the best record in all of the minors at 35-12. This was their 8th win in a row.

Nice outing by Nick Struck. 6 IP 0 ER 8 K 0 BB 7 H

 

Oh, and the Smokies are beating on another opponent. Why cant our big league team be that damn good.

LeMahieu 2/4 with 2 doubles. Vitters went 2/4 with a double - his BA is above .270 and his OPS should finally clear .750. Luis Flores with 2 HRs.

Dont forget Rebel 3/5 with an HR and Nelson Perez with a PH 2B.

Luis Flores has 4 HR in 17 Tennessee AB. What an awesome slash line: .529/.682/1.294/1.976.

"Knoxville News-Sentinel[/url]"]Smokies outfielder James Adduci, already on the disabled list, had a broken bone in his hand surgically repaired recently and could possibly miss the rest of the season.

Geo rehabbing. Joe Zeller and Willengton Cruz were the starters in the 2 games played at Fitch.

That's some kind of hot streak. What's more, he's walked 6 times and struck out none. This guy is dialed in right now.

Maybe hes taking the Geo Soto rout, and randomly exploding after several years of nothingness in the system. Or maybe hes just off to a good start. Simalarly, Jonathon Mota, whose only 23 despite being in the system since the early 90's seems to be doing OK after years of nothingness as well.
