Jose Casilla RHP- 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 2.73.

Gage's worst start in awhile, by far.

Who is TJ Bennett?  He's a big guy, 6'3", 215, B-L, T-R.  Listed on his milb.com bio page as a SS.  Has played mostly 2B for the Giants.  He went to college at Utah in the Pac-12.  Looks like he played mostly 1B/3B/OF in college.  Played 2 seasons of indy ball before being signed as an undrafted  FA by the Giants.  He's 24 yo.  Raking it for the SJ Giants.  Sleeper.

I think you are going to be hearing more about Sandro Fabian in the national minor league press.  There's a video out there of him crushing a HR and flipping his bat.  Nice looking player!
