Good pitching day. Pierce Johnson has allowed just 3 ERs in his last 7 starts, but has walked 16 in those 37.1 innings, but with 46 strikeouts.

Russell not in the lineup again. Wish they'd just say what his injury is.

Almora triple.

Gleyber Torres is batting seventh and playing shortstop in his Boise debut.

[Thrilho]

Russell lives! Pinch hit single. In other news, he committed his 2nd error since joining the Smokies. That drops his fielding percentage to a laughable .989. Also just noticed he's sporting a 4.61 range factor, compared to a 3.97 in 2013 and 4.06 in 2012.

 

Those are eye popping numbers in a pretty large sample size.

Zastryzny is the minor league Edwin Jackson.

Sands and Steele both and pretty blah nights.

Junior Lake 2 run HR

[Thrilho]

Underwood got back on track tonight with no walks in five innings, after 3 and 4 walks respectively in his last two outings. I found this video from him striking a guy out in May, in case anyone is curious what he's working with.

Blake Cooper, who we acquired for I don't even remember who, has been pretty dominant in his time at Tenn; 8 IP, 2/14 BB/K.

Lol at first I thought that meant he started last night and those were his numbers, then I realized those were just totals from relief. Still pretty good...

I thought I read somewhere that his thumb was in a splint a couple days ago? Maybe just a jammed thumb?

That's what people were saying, had me worried. Obviously must be ok now. Hopefully he'll be back in there regularly r the rest of use year.
