Cody Hall(RHP)- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 2.97.

Turley has run very hot and cold, but now has 3 consecutive QS's with just 2 runs allowed in 18.1 IP with an 18/4 K/BB.

This Arroyo kid can hit!  Angel V moves down to try to get his bat going.  Another nice start for Tommy Hanson who is on the comeback trail.

I think this Nolan Riggs may be a major sleeper in the system.  Big guy at 6'8".  Putting up some nice numbers in a SSS this summer.
