Max Pentecost had just one hit but he made it count with a grand slam to send the D-Jays on their way to victory. The 2014 first-round pick played this game at the cold corner. Cavan Biggio has a five-game hitting streak and hits in nine of his last 10 to give him a .284 batting average but his K/BB figures of 19-3 raises a red flag. Lane Thomas had three hits and his OPS is up to .916. Danny Jansen went 2-for-5 and is hitting .414.Angel Perdomo went a season-high six innings, yielding just a run on three hits and three walks. The lefty struck out six and induced seven groundouts. His WHIP is still on the high side at 1.60. Fellow lefty Daniel Young still has goose eggs for an ERA with a scoreless frame. He has a 6-2 K/BB ratio over 8-1/3 innings.
Lansing Lugnuts
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. socked his third homer of the season as part of a three-hit, one-walk performance. He is on a nine-game hitting streak and his OPS is at .996. He still has more walks than strikeouts at 13-11. Jake Thomas also had a three-hit effort to give him a .333 batting average and a whopping .520 on-base percentage in his second season with the Lugnuts. Bo Bichette was 2-for-3 with a walk. Catcher Ridge Smith was 0-for-3 in his Lansing debut but drew a pair of walks.
Lugnut pitchers struck out 14 batters, including five from Tayler Saucedo and four from Kirby Snead, but gave up 11 runs with Mike Ellenbest taking the loss. Only Zach Jackson had a scoreless outing, striking out two to offset two hits but he did allow two Snead runners to score over 1-2/3 innings.
