High A  San Jose Giants topped the Inland Empire 66'ers 5-3:

Jonah Arenado 3B- 3 for 4, 3 2B.  BA= .262.
Dillon Dobson 1B- 2 for 3, 2B, BB, SB(2).  BA= .244.

Heath Slatton RHP- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 8.73.

-Jonah Arenado is white hot!
-A reader pointed out that 6 of the 8 runs Slatton has allowed in his last 10 games came in a 1.2 inning appearance on 6/25 and questioned why the manager would allow him to take that pounding.  IDK the answer to that, but in 8 appearances since, Slatton has allowed just 2 runs in 15 IP with 19 K's and 4 BB's so it did not seem to do him any permanent damage.

-Russell has struck out 26 batters in 15 IP.  He's walked 7, but 3 of those came in his first appearance.
