    • Alejandro Requena got his first win of the season this week. It is surprising that it his first win given the fact that Requena has posted a 1.45 ERA now in six starts this season.

    In other positive pitching news, top three prospect Riley Pint hurled five scoreless innings with five strikeouts to earn his first Single-A win.

    Lastly, reliever J.D. Hammer gave up his first earned run of the season. Hammer is now sitting with a 0.59 ERA in 15.1 innings pitched this season.

    Offensively, Vince Fernandez has stood out over the last week. Fernandez is hitting .385 over his last 10 games and had 10 hits over the week, but only managed one RBI. Fernandez also stole five bases over the course of the week.
