Hello folks and welcome to the Gameday. Lets skip the small talk and get to the goodies.
A handful of Top 100 pitchers got on the bump but none was more impressive than Brewers AAA righty Jimmy Nelson. Last night Nelson's control was pinpoint, throwing 75% strikes (72 of 94 pitches) and limiting Omaha to just two hits in seven frames. He struck out nine, walked one, let two go wild on him and he induced six ground outs to two fly outs. The only other starter who fared well was Robert Stephenson (5 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 K). Archie Bradley was missing bats with eight punch outs but still gave up three runs on two walks and five hits and lasted just four frames.
Both Arismendy Alcantara and Stephen Piscotty left the yard, Piscotty for the second time and Alcantara also scooped up his sixth stolen base. Joc Pederson picked up his eighth double and sixth stolen base while Mookie Betts kept up the same blistering pace with his seventh double and fifth stolen base. Joey Gallo knocked his second triple and drove in three as David Dahl stole a pair (his second and third) and hit his second two-bagger.
Scroll down for more prospect stats from Monday's action, Tuesday's probable starters, the Duels of the Day, and the running injury list at the bottom. Enjoy!
