The Good
Things looked a little sketchy there at the beginning of the month as we lost 5 of 7 to start the month. We righted the ship however and were able to extend our lead over our division rivals by winning 7 of the last 8 games of the month.
Both Tatis. Jr and Machado continue to be our main contributors at the plate. Tatis Jr. hit .295/.361/.467 with 6 doubles, 4 HR, 20 RBI, and 5 steals. Machado added a .321/.392/.624 line with 6 doubles as well, a team leading 9 HR, and 19 RBI.
Abrams continues to look impressive. The youngster hit .305/.383/.424 with 8 doubles and a massive 14 steals. Marcano looked like his normal self with a .322/.394/.398 line, and Tocci continues to look great, hitting .356 for the month. Marin looked more comfortable at the plate this month, hitting 8 doubles, 2 triples, and 5 HR while also driving in a team leading 22 RBI. And fellow league newcomer Jae-Ho Lee added a team leading 9 doubles.
The starting rotation continues to pitch well. There weren’t any particular performances that stood apart from the rest. Just a solid job all around from our starters. And the bullpen continues to look dominant. Bradley, Butron, and Hill all looked close to untouchable.
The Bad
Definitely the slow start to the month. We actually dropped down to 3rd at one point. Thankfully we were able to get things settled relatively quickly, but I could do without any more scares like that for the rest of the season.
The Ugly
As good as our bullpen was, there was one concerning performance. Pierce Johnson had an absolutely awful month. He threw just 7.1 innings, but gave up 14 hits, including 4 HR, and 9 runs, 6 of which were earned. He finished the month with a 7.36 ERA and 2.45 WHIP.
