25 year-old Phil Dumatrait (Red Sox #1 – 2000) continued his AAA dominance. Dumatrait pitched 6 innings giving up 4 H, 3 BB, and 1 UER. For the season he has a 0.38 ERA with 17 Ks, 9 BB, 12 H in 23.2 IP.
23 year-old Joey Votto (Reds #2 – 2002) went 1 for 2 with 2 R, a 2B, a BB, and an RBI. He is hitting just .172. But he is still extremely patient with 12 BB for a .320 OBA. Seems like a good sign for him to eventually come out of this slump, he is only 23.
