7 swinging strikes so far

Wiggins ends the night with 9 swinging strikes. Topped out at 97. He’s probably ready for South Bend.

Christian Franklin on base 3 more times tonight

Daniel Palencia with a bit of a clunker, though he did hit triple digits 7 times.  I wonder if he gets 27th man duties on Saturday.

Derniche Valdez is off the developmental list. 1/3 with a double and no Ks.
