Got a lot of good looks at Yoendris Gonzalez. He throws his fastball around 94 to 95. He has a slider that he throws better to his arm side. He pitches extremely well up in the zone. He tends to miss on the left side of the plate quite a bit. In July, he had a 2.25 ERA.

Coming into tonight's South Bend Cubs game, Edgar Alvarez is carrying a 23-game on-base streak. The last time he didn't get on base was over five weeks ago.

One of the great things about the MiLB Season is that they play two halves and reset the records.
As of today, Knoxville, South Bend, and Myrtle Beach are all in first place!!!
