Jerrius Atkinson turned in nothing short of a gem on Tuesday: he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs but no hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than five strikeouts. For the season, Atkinson has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of .72 over 9.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.400/0.429/0.500 with 6 runs, plus 11 stolen bases.
Atkinson and Schlarman will head out on the road to square off against Salt Fork at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Schlarman has some work to do to even out the 1-6 series between these two since April of 2017, but a win here would be a good start.
