WP: Bray 1-0 / 3.38

HR: Armenteros (5)

Prospect Of The Game:

Outfielder Lazaro Armenteros

(1 for 3 / Home Run / Walk / 2 RBIs / Stolen Base)

The Ports prevailed to win their fifth straight on Tuesday. And 19-year-old Cuban left fielder Lazaro Armenteros had another productive night at the plate for the Ports. He hit his team-leading 5^th home run, a two-run shot in the 3^rd inning, and also walked and snatched his 4^th stolen base on Tuesday. Armenteros currently leads the team in both home runs and walks while also boasting a team-best slugging percentage of .481. Second baseman Jeremy Eierman had a pair of hits, including a double, drew a walk and scored a run, while shortstop Nick Allen singled, doubled, stole a base and drove in a pair and is now riding a 13-game hitting streak. RHPs Kyle Friedrichs and Jake Bray both joined Stockton from extended spring training on Tuesday and both appeared in the game for the Ports. Friedrichs made the start and was solid, throwing 4 scoreless frames, while Bray allowed 1 run in 2 2/3 innings of relief to pick up the win. Meanwhile, Stockton RHP Daulton Jefferies, who put up an ERA of 2.40 in his first 5 appearances for the Ports, was reassigned to the RockHounds.
