Down on the Farm: 5/22/2016

AAA  Sacramento River Cats edged out the Nashville Sounds 3-2:

Jarrett Parker RF- 2 for 4.  BA=- .278.
Mac Williamson LF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .295.
Chris Stratton RHP- 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 6.02.

With Blanco in a slump, if Pagan and/or Pence have to hit the DL, I would favor giving Parker and/or Mac the bulk of the starts in their place.
