Hayden Foster made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over four innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Stanton is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 5-10 otherwise. Foster was also big at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with five RBI, three runs, and one triple. Those five RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Jhai Mosley was incredible, going a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. He is becoming a predictor of Stanton's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 6-1 (and 3-9 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of William Spellman, who scored a run and stole three bases while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
Stanton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .710. They are a perfect 7-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
