He was hitting .240 with 18 HR, 14 SB, and 55 RBI at Triple-A.

Wilson hit .259 with 31 HR, 32 SB, and 86 RBI last season at Triple-A.

What's going on with Bryce Harper? He hit .374 in June and then he hits .149 in July. Is it just a prolonged slump or is he playing through an injury?

Soon to be 30-yr old rookie Weston Wilson hit for the cycle tonite. After tonite, he has 54 MLB ABs. I dont know what the record is for the least number of ABs before hitting a cycle but he's got to be close.

The Phillies are sending Tajjuan Walker and his 6.50 ERA and his $18 million yearly salary to the bullpen.

Kyle Schwarber tied a MLB record today by hitting his 13th HR to lead off a game. Alfonso Soriano previously established this record in 2003 for the Yanks.

I was at this game (back in town for work in North Jersey and drove down for the game). He was hitting the ball so hard all night, and especially in that last at-bat, that my only concern was that he would hit another HR instead of the double.
He said in his post-game interview that Bryce told him to just keep running no matter what he hit. Helped that they were up big in the game.
OF made a crazy good play on the last ball and missed making the diving catch by an inch, as it bounced off the tip of his glove.
