That's the most strikeouts he has posted over his last four contests. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. He is becoming a predictor of Overton's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 6-7 when he doesn't).

In other batting news, Overton let Witt Brooks and Landen Griffey run wild. Brooks scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances, while Griffey scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-5. What's more, Brooks posted two hits, the most he's had since back in March.

Overton is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. As for McGavock, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-8.

Overton will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Raiders: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
