Danny Sandbrink(RHP)- 2.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 3.67.

Susac has homered in successive games.  Rosin has another dominant outing in a starting role and stretched out a bit.  Great to see him in the rotation and pitching well.

Buechele is hitting .344 over his last 10 games.  A dominant start from Blackburn.  I believe Blackburn has had just one bad start this season and only 2 non-quality starts.
