Individual Notes

- Wendolyn Bautista fired a 9-inning complete game shutout on Friday, the first for a Dragons pitcher since August 28, 2008 when Enerio Del Rosario shutout Lansing. Bautista allowed four base runners (all singles), no walks, 7 strikeouts, and threw 100 pitches.

- Brantley Bell has a seven-game hitting streak, going 13 for 26, .500. He has reached base 31 times over his last 13 games (17 hits, 12 walks, 2 HBP). He is batting .415 (17 for 41) over these 13 games to raise his average from .236 to .255. He is hitting .351 in August.

- Nick Senzel has 27 extra base hits in 51 games with the Dragons. The only player in Dragons history to average more than 0.5 extra base hits per game and play in at least 50 games is Jay Bruce in 2006 (63 extra base hits in 117 games). Senzel's .546 slugging percentage would rank first in the Midwest League if he had enough plate appearances to qualify, his .408 on on-base percentage would rank second, and his .311 batting average would rank tied for seventh. His .311 batting average is tied for seventh highest in a half in the current decade for the Dragons franchise.
