**Dragons On The Field**

* During the last series against Burlington, Dragons first baseman Donald Lutz broke catcher Tucker Barnhart's mark for the longest hitting streak of the season. While Barnhart had hit in thirteen consecutive games, with two hits on Sunday night, Lutz extended his to fifteen games. That tied him for the third longest streak in franchise history, with 2010 Dragon Cameron Satterwhite.

* Dragons reliever Daniel Wolford carried an incredible scoreless streak into Monday's action. Since June 9, the righthander had not allowed a run in 12 straight appearances, totaling 21 1/3 innings pitched.

* Lefthander Tanner Robles makes his return to the starting lineup. After opening the season with the Dragons, he was sent to the Arizona League Reds in late June. In three games with the AZL Reds, the Utah native went 2-0 with a 2.77 ERA. As he returns he'll make his first start against Fort Wayne in 13 tries.
