The top news around the HomeSide has got to be Quintin Berry's 30 game hitting streak. This is the longest streak in minor league baseball this season. The streak was stopped Friday night by Tampa. Q is now hitting .276, with 45 stolen bases(in 58 attempts).
Matt Maloney won his 4th straight decision last Thursday, 4-2 over Toledo. Matt is now 10-4 with a 3.95 ERA for Louisville and is looking like a lock for a September call up with the Reds.
Zack Segovia has posted 2 wins in his 5 starts for Harrisburg, although the last outing Thursday in New Hampshire was a rough one. Zack's ERA is a shaky 7.04 in 23 innings with the Eastern League affiliate of the Nationals.
I also have to mention Michael Taylor. After hitting .361 in the first half of this season with Lakewood, Mike was promoted and struggled for the first 3 weeks with Clearwater. These struggles are a long gone memory now as Taylor looks like he did here, hitting .342 for the Threshers, with 6 home runs and 28 RBI in 53 games. Overall, Taylor's season is .353, with 34 doubles, 16 homers, 78 RBI and 13 stolen bases. Can you say "Paul Owens Award winner"?
