AAA  El Paso Diablos nipped the Sacramento River Cats 5-2:

Derek Law RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.91.

-Just when you think Stratton has turned a corner….his peripherals are better than the outcome, though.
-The Giants must have heard us talking because Jae-Gyun Hwang is the latest callup.  He'll start at 3B against the LHP in AT&T Park today.
