The VSL started on Monday, but it’s a five team league this year, and the Phils were off. Stateside, good pitching performances from David Buchanan, (2R, 5H, 4K in 7IP), and Nic Hanson (1 R, 2H, 1BB, 4K in 7IP – retired the first 16 men he faced).
At the plate, 3 singles from Cameron Perkins – 2 hits, including a 2B, from Chace Numata – 2 including a triple from Maikel Franco – and 2 including a HR from Kelly Dugan. And a double from Tyson Gillies means he’s hit in four straight. Maybe his swing has finally settled into its new “groove”. If so, he’ll be back in AAA shortly, I’d imagine.
And then there’s this – The Durham Bulls have a guy in their bullpen named “Steve Geltz” – I have to imagine it’s pronounced like “Steve Jeltz”. If so, I’m pretty sure Rube should trade for that guy. Just because.
