On offense, Rome ran wild on the River Dogs swiping 4 bags on the night. Jose Peraza stole 2, bumping his season total up to 52, while Kyle Wren nabbed his 23rd. Wren was also thrown out for just the 4th time in his professional career. Felix Marte also stole his 10th base and also added a long ball as well.

Andrew Waszak was dazzling for Danville last night, spinning 6 innings of 2-hit shutout ball with a ridiculous 9 strikeouts. On the year, Waszak is sporting a 1.43 ERA and a .172 opponents batting average. Combine that with a 2.55 GB/FB ratio, and it's easy to see he's dominating.

GCL Braves 6, GCL Astros 2

Fernelys Sanchez, one of the toolsiest prospects on the GCL team, put everything together last night for a monster game. Sanchez went 3-4 with a 3 run bomb and also swiped two bases. On the year, his average sits at just .216, but maybe this is what he needs to jump start his bat. Francisco Gonzalez had a decent start, and 2013 draftee Carlos Salazar had another good appearance out of the pen, striking out 2 in a scoreless inning.
