Commentary:

Terrmel was obviously ticked off about losing his extra-base-hit streak last night. So he started a new one… He’s having quite an August.

So did Jared Wells channel Tim Stauffer tonight or what?

Way to go Kyler! How weird is it, for a player whose game is not “speed” to have more triples than doubles? I still think we’re going to see Kyler’s plus power, it just may not be this year.

Orlando Lara continues to shine. I think I like this kid.
