Nothing Is Free: Last night the Missions' pitching staff did not issue a walk. It was the third game this season San Antonio has not allowed a free pass. The Missions have been one of the top strike-throwing teams in the Pacific Coast League this season as they have allowed just 349 walks, which are good for fourth fewest on the circuit. San Antonio also did not allow a walk on June 2 against Omaha and on July 13 against Omaha.

Comeback Kids: The Missions overcame a two-run, ninth inning deficit last night to walk-off on the Iowa Cubs in the series opener. It was the fourth win of the season for San Antonio when trailing a game entering the ninth inning. They are now 4-31 in that situation. It was also the seventh walk-off win of the season for the Missions and first since June 15.

In the Run Driver's Seat: With his game-winning RBI last night Trent Grisham has now driven in a run in each of his last five games, which is a career-long RBI streak. He is the third Missions player this season with an RBI streak of five games. Tyler Saladino drove in at least one run in seven straight games from April 10-17 and Cory Spangenberg had a six-game streak from July 11-16.

Home Hot Streak: The Missions are on a nine-game home winning streak, which is their longest such streak of the season. They completed a pair of four-game sweeps in their last homestand and opened up their current homestand with a walk-off victory last night. During their nine-game home winning streak the Missions are averaging 7.7 runs per game while hitting .334 (102-for-305) with 28 doubles, 14 home runs, and 16 stolen bases. The Missions boast the best home record in Triple-A at 39-15.
