Cooper Merrill turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday, not allowing a single earned run and only one hit while striking out six over five innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with less than two hits allowed. This year, Merrill has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.75 over 16 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.526/0.609/0.711 with 15 runs.
