Post-game notes: Oswalt was hitting 94-96 MPH on the stadium gun in the 1^st inning, which would be a significant bump for him. After tonight, Tim Peterson has 21 K: 1 BB in 12.1 IP this year, which is good for a 50% K-Rate!!

Boxscore

Yesterday: W 8-3 (Columbia)

Today: PPD (Rain)

Minors MVP of the Day – Nimmo hit his first homerun of the year, and it was a shot hit out to CF.

Minors Cy of the Day – Lugo and Oswalt looked like great candidates for the nod until they allowed some runs in their final innings. Instead I'm giving the nod to Tim Peterson, who now has 21 K: 1 BB in 12.1 IP, which is good for a 50% K-Rate.

The force is strong with this bot. I’m bringing a JEDI to Jupiter. #MayThe4thBeWithYou https://t.co/GhQssv65Ob
