Edward Concepcion(RHP)- 3.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 6.10.

Ricky had a solid single in the first inning and a bloop single down the 3B line later.  Not sure why he came out early.  Parker did too.  Page's hit was a bunt single that the pitcher bobbled but probably would not have gotten him anyway.  Page is bigger than I expected.  If he can ever hit, he'll be a good one.  Marte came out of the game with an apparent injury.  Concepcion's FB was sitting 96-98 MPH on the stadium gun.

Tyler Hess(RHP)- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 3.29.

Hollick is looking like the steal of the draft.  Move him up!

DSL  Giants were idle.
