Fowler waltzed into their contest on Saturday with eight straight wins... but they left with nine. They blew past the Rocky Ford Meloneers 16-2. The Grizzlies might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matchups by ten runs or more this season.
Joe Salvo spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on five hits and racked up six Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Hagen McCuistion, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March. Bronson Damgaard also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Fowler was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .385. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .368 or higher in seven consecutive games.
