When you’re hitting .366/.394/.665 on the season and are batting .514 over your last 10 games and have 5 homeruns, you have to get a look at the bigs some time, correct? Well, that is all Jay Bruce is doing. I know, I know, we seem to say this 2-3 times per week. But Jay went 2-4 in yesterday’s game, driving in an rbi, his 37th of the season. Kevin Barker also went 2-4 in the game for the Bats.
Adam Pettyjohn lost his first game of the season, giving up 5 runs on 4 hits while walking 3. He struck out 4 in 6 innings of work. Adam’s record is better than his ERA would indicate. At 4-1, his ERA is now 5.01.
