That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in February. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kane Hagan, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs. Wesley Marshall also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
