• Phillip Evans SS 1 for 3, BB, K .311/.344/.450
• Rafael Montero P 1 for 2, 3B

Rosario is noticeably not in the lineup for the second time in three games. Not sure what the issue is there. Yes, Montero hit a triple.

• Rafael Montero RHP 7 IP, 2 H, ER, 6 K 2.45 ERA (110 P, 69 S)

• Jose Maria 1B 2 for 4, 2 2B, RBI, K .343/.410/.522

Uriarte is hitting much better in July with a .283/.327/.370 with all four of his doubles. At 18, I’d still call him very much a prospect.
