Game notes
Pre-game notes: Rafael Montero is making his second start since returning to the 51s rotation Sunday, when he allowed 2 ER on 6 H over 4 IP. Brandon Nimmo had his best game at the plate of the year last night, going 3-3 with a bases clearing double. Don’t forget that Nimmo missed almost all of Spring Training with an injury, so give him a break here in April. Matt Reynolds picked up another pair of hits to extend his streak to 8-straight. His walk rate is back up this year, and hits are falling in for him at a good rate again, but he still hasn’t shown any K% improvements yet, which is the area I thought he could benefit most from improving.

Yesterday: L
10-3 (St.
Lucie, Charlotte)
Pre-game notes: Tonight’s starter Ricky Knapp has been successful so far this year despite some poor peripherals: he’s allowed a .328 opponents average and has only 10 K through 16.1 IP. After 11.2 scoreless innings over his previous two starts, Corey Oswalt was hit hard last night, allowing 7 ER over 4 IP. With two good starts and two poor ones, it was a mixed month for Oswalt, but he put up a 27.4 K%: 8.3 BB%, which is promising, and a was burned by a .404 BABIP allowed, which should improve considerably. Michael Katz picked up a pair of hit yesterday, but is still looking for his first extra base hit of the year. Wuilmer Becerra walked twice last night after not drawing a walk since 4/18. Jhoan Urena appears to be putting it together at the FSL, he’s batting .324/.375/.432 over his last 10 games, with 2 doubles and a triple.

Game notes
Pre-game notes: Tonight’s starter Kevin Canelon went a season high 6 innings in his last outing against Greenville. He’s a soft tosser, but good control of his secondaries has helped him post a 29.2 K%: 7.7 BB% through 3 starts. 2B Vinny Siena extended his on base streak to 21 straight games to start the season. His .517 OBP and 19 walks lead the league, he’s second in the league with 21 runs scored, and his 1.086 OPS is third in the SAL. David Thompson homered and picked up 2 RBI’s to up his total to 25, which is best in affiliated ball. Thomas McIlraith set a career high with 9 K’s in his start yesterday, but more importantly he had only 1 BB. McIlraith had 3 K: 7 BB over his previous 2 starts, when he allowed 8 ER over 8 IP.

Minors MVP of the Day
– I try not to favor top prospects, but Gavin Cecchini's 4-hit night is too good to overlook in favor of Marc Krauss' big night. Jeff Diehl was in the running too.
Minors Cy of the Day
– Lara made this choice easy for me, although he could've made it easier by not allowing a homerun for his only hit.
