Reading cruised 12-1.  Brandon Leibrandt (2-0, 1.69), 6.0 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 7 K.  Three-hit games for Pullin and Tocci.  Two hit games for Kingery, Martin, Walding, and Tromp.  Pullin got the ball rolling with a solo HR (4) in the first inning.  He hit a grand slam later (5).  Martin hit his 4th.

• Tocci is hitting .327 and that prompted me to check him out.  He has one XBH (a triple) and one walk.  His slash is .327/.367/.364.  He has hits in 8 of his last 10 games and reached base in 9 of 10.  He has three, 3-hit games in that span.

Lakewood lost 4-1.  Bailey Falter struggled through two innings.  Harold Arauz pitched well in four innings of relief.  Daniel Brito and Danny Zardon had three hits each.

4/24 – Phillies placed RHP Aaron Nola on the 10-day disabled list retroactive to April 21, 2017. Lower back strain.
