Bobby Grover produced his best game of the campaign on Thursday: he struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fourth in a row with one or fewer earned runs. This year, he has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.62 over 9.2 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.333/0.484/0.417 with 14 runs, plus 13 stolen bases.
