Tim Lopes continues to push for a call-up with two more hits, including a triple. He is now hitting .318 with an OPS of .812. Harold Ramirez still has not gotten back on track with a .197 batting average and has walked just twice in 61 at-bats. Anthony Alford is falling back to earth as his average has sunk to .321 after hitting just .171 in his last 10 games.
Jon Harris is not fooling anyone right now as Eastern League hitters are batting .314 against him.
Dunedin Blue Jays
Max Pentecost walked this one off for the D-Jays with a run-scoring single to cap off a 2-for-5 night. Lane Thomas had a three-run homer and Connor Panas went deep in his third game back from the disabled list.Ryan Borucki struck out the first seven batters of the game and eight of the 11 batters he faced over 3-2/3 perfect innings, throwing 34 of his 45 pitches for strikes. The outfielders had nothing to do until Ryan Cook ended the fourth with a flyout. Cook was scored on for the first time this season when he gave up a home run to start the fifth to end a 15-inning scoreless streak but he still has an ERA 0f 0.51.
Lansing Lugnuts
Bo Bichette belted a three-run homer for his third dinger of the season in the first inning and is batting .360. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. returned from a knee injury but went 0-for-3. Josh Palacios was on base three times with two hits and a walk as he tries to recover from a slow start. Edward Olivares was 3-for-4 with a triple but was caught stealing. He's hitting .366 over his last 10 contests.
Mike Ellenbest had his best outing of the season, giving up just one run on four hits and three walks while whiffing six.
