Ryan McBroom is beginning to emerge from a slump that saw go him 0-for-20 during one stretch by homering in back-to-back games and also adding a double in Monday's win in Reading. The 25 year-old West Virginian has seven doubles and three home runs. Richard Urena hit his first home run at the Double-A level and is hoping to turn his season around after hitting just .213 in April. His average was at .183 after a 0-for-10 skid last week.Francisco Rios pitched seven solid innings, allowing just an unearned run by scattering eight hits and a walk and striking out four to chop his ERA down to 1.91 and win his third game of the year. Of the 15 runs he's given up, only six have been earned. Chris Rowley plunked a couple of batters but struck out three over two shutout frames to give him three scoreless appearances in a row.
Dunedin Blue Jays
Danny Jansen is in a battle with Max Pentecost for the title of future Blue Jays catcher. Jansen's third homer was the difference in Dunedin's victory over Tampa. After hitting .402 in April, he raised his average five points with a two-hit effort to keep him atop the Florida State League leaderboard.T.J. Zeuch won his first professional start by lasting 5-1/3 innings. He put up zeros in the first five frames before allowing two runs on seven hits. He did not walk anyone and struck out six and eight of his nine outs in play were on the ground. His pitch count was on the high side at 97 but 67 of them were for strikes.
