Sam Thielen Game Report: vs Ellis

Sam Thielen struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and not a single walk), good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fifth in a row with two or fewer walks. For the year, he has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 3.50 over 26 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.592/0.639/1.286 with 35 runs and 6 home runs, plus 15 stolen bases.

Thielen's strong effort led Russell over Ellis and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Thanks in part to Thielen's efforts, the Broncos will roll in on a seven-game winning streak. Will Thielen and the rest of the team keep the streak alive?
