The Double-A Trenton Thunder had their game suspended due to rain in the middle of the third inning. It will be completed as part of a doubleheader tomorrow. Here’s the box score.
High-A Tampa Tarpons (3-0 win over Daytona)
- CF Pablo Olivares: 0-4, 1 R — now 1-for-34 (.029) on the season
- 2B Oswaldo Cabrera: 2-4, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K, 1 CS, 1 E (fielding)
- 1B Dermis Garcia: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K — there were rumblings he would return to third base this year but that hasn’t happened, it’s been first base (and DH) only thus far
- LF Isiah Gilliam: 2-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB
- RHP Glenn Otto: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 1 Balk, 7/4 GB/FB — 42 of 74 pitches were strikes (57%) … only made two starts last season before having surgery to remove a blood clot from his shoulder, so I imagine there’s still some rust to shake off
Low-A Charleston RiverDogs (5-3 win over Greensboro)
- CF Brandon Lockridge: 1-4, 1 R, 2 K, 1 2B
- 2B Kyle Gray: 2-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K — had been in a 3-for-19 (.158) skid

- C Josh Breaux: 2-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — first pro home run for last year’s second rounder … he is 6-for-11 (.545) since missing a few games with a mystery injury
- RHP Tanner Myatt: 4.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 7 K, 1 WP, 5/1 GB/FB — 47 of 79 pitches were strikes (59%) … my man … there are going to be some ugly walk-filled starts along the way, but I’m very excited to see how Myatt develops
