GAME 26
The bullpen is officially a growing concern. Sanchez comes in, with the bases loaded and wiggles out of it, then leaves them loaded the next inning for Winston. He too loads’em up. They all escape and Ken Johnson gets the last 3, but what a nightmare. Alejandrez is cruising with a huge lead into the 6th before he walks them loaded. He wins his 3rd (3-1) going 5-4-3-3-4-5. Alexander goes 3-5 with 2 RBI’s, Hugh Collins hits his 6th HR, a 3 run shot, and Eric Hudson goes 2-3. Lorenzelli goes 2-5 with 2 doubles.

AAA 1B Ricardo Gonzalez took hom UL POTW going 10-21 with 3 HR’s and 9 RBI’s. (.348-6-23). He could be potential trade bait given my glut of 1B, he’s by far the best fielder in the organization at 1st though.
