Lavender has two saves in the series, including a seven-pitch ninth inning with two strikeouts in Friday’s game at Hartford. Núñez, Tavarez, and Kubichek all threw three scoreless innings with nine combined strikeouts in their outings.

JT Schwartz has a remarkable swing. It is worth coming to the ball park just to see him swing a bat. Smooth, effortless, square to the ball over and over. This guy is going to hit.

Nunez had such good outings, he has already been promoted to AAA as of yesterday.

Nice 3 hit 3 RBI game for Jose Peroza, Paul. He is my dark horse.

Will Schwartz generate enough pop? Time will tell.

Dedniel is post-Tommy John, and maybe he gets to Queens in the not too distant future.
