It is rare to see a guy with so many strikeouts give up 4 runs, but just like he has all season long Dillon Gee struggled with the long ball giving up 2 more home runs.  He has a very high HR/FB percentage, much higher than his career average, and you can take that two ways.  One he is getting a little unlucky and when it returns to normal his runs will start going down or the second way that in the upper levels his average stuff is getting hit harder by tougher competition.  Only time will tell, but I expect his ERA to go down a little and settle in the low 4′s.  Incase you forgot Lucas Duda is a beast.

Michael Antonini started the season off rough, but ever since mid May he has been outstanding.  Out of his last 10 starts 9 of them are quality starts, he is striking out a batter per innings, and keeping the walks way way down while holding the opponents to a 3.26 ERA.  He is restoring his prospect status this year.  Michael Fisher is quietly continuing to hit with 3 more hits tonight in Bingy raising his season average to .360.   He hasn’t showed any since leaving Savannah so that is something he will need to start demonstrating.

HiA – St. Lucie Mets

DP: (Lagares-Valdespin).
1-Ran for Barrett in the 9th.

Robert Carson continued to be ‘Steady Eddie’ for the St. Lucie rotation while everyone else has been inconsistent at best.  Angel Calero got into a lot of trouble in relief, but was bailed out by Erik Turgeon to preserve the lead.  I still don’t think enough can be said about Wilmer Flores he has just been jaw dropping.

LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats

BATTING
2B: Harris, R.J. (2, Perkins), Doyle (3, Perkins).
3B: Marte, J (3, Bargas, P).
HR: Marte, J 2 (6, 3rd inning off Perkins, 1 on, 0 out; 5th inning off Perkins, 0 on, 1 out).

CS: Marte, J (4, 2nd base by Gomez, L/Gonzalez, J).

FIELDING
E: Marte, J (23, fielding).

Armando Rodriguez was pretty good striking out 8 in just 5 innings, but the real star of the game was Jefry Marte.  Marte missed a cycle by just a double so he gets a pass on his error and a caught stealing.

After faltering for a few games Cory Vaughn came back with vengeance hitting two home runs and driving in 4 runs.  Luis Nieves and shockingly Darrell Ceciliani were the only batters without a hit.  After one bad outing while in Kingsport, Adam Kolarek has been lights out and just racking up the K’s.
