Hitting Notes

Jody Carroll hit the 200th home run of his career July 27th in the win over Los Angeles.
Ken Baldridge went 8-13 on the week, with 4 RBI.
We are amazingly still looking for our first home run from the third base position this year. That is unbelievable.
Dan Musgrave has struck out 81 times in 430 plate appearances, most on the team. Swan has struck out 76 times, second most.
Jody Carroll has walked 86 times to lead the team. Swan is second with 59 bases on balls.
Interestingly, Dan Musgrave has been intentionally walked more than any other Mallard. Six times to be exact.
Kansas City is second to us in total runs scored as a team, with their 517.
Philadelphia has hit the most home runs as a team, with 110. We have 87 total.

Pitching Notes

Still no wins for Juan Leyva in July. He was in line for the win on July 25th, but Harold Patterson blew his first save opportunity with us.
3 starters are in double figures for wins on the season - Carithers with 14, Leyva and Figiel with 12. Ruben Solis and Jose Amador both have 8, so knocking on the door.
Leon Williams has a 0.49 WHIP in 22.1 innings pitched to lead the team. Juan Leyva is 2nd at 0.97.
Williams also has the lowest FIP, at 1.94, followed by Leyva at 2.63 and Jimmy Riggs at 2.64.
Our 332 runs given up is the least by any team in TBL. The next closest teams are Baltimore and San Diego, each with 357 runs given up as a team.

Both Theodore Walden and Pedro Medina are pitching at AAA Porterville like they want to be back with the big club.
