Kelly Dugan announced on social media late Thursday that he’s been called up to Reading. Should be a good test to see how he can handle another caliber of pitching.
A busy day for names of note – on the hill, Jesse Biddle gave up 1R, 3H, 1BB and 9K in 6 IP. Kenny Giles back on the bump for Clearwater – he touched 99, according to @baseballbetsy on Twitter. A fourth strong start in a row for Shane Watson since a meltdown outing 4 weeks ago.
As for position players, Cesar Hernandez got his first start in the outfield, playing in the rain make-up half of the double header – an interesting addition to his value if he can cut it. Tyson Gillies went deep. He’s hit in four straight since coming back up to AAA. Dylan Cozens with his third HR of the year, while Zach Green had another double, and Andrew Pullin had 4 hits, including a triple.
