In eight games against the Sounds Mauricio Dubon has hit .345 (10-29) with 11 runs and 9 RBI. Jacob Nottingham in eight games has hit .357 (10-for-28) with 8 runs, 2 doubles, 3 home runs, and 10 RBI.

Birthday Boy: Missions pitcher Burch Smith turns 29 years old today. The San Antonio native is scheduled to start on the mound for the Missions tomorrow.
Erceg On Base: Infielder Lucas Erceg has scored a run in three straight games, it is the longest run-scoring streak by a Missions player on the young season. In those three games, all against Memphis, he hit .429 (3-for-7) with five walks and scored five runs. He reached base in eight of his 12 plate appearances against Redbirds. His on-base percentage has risen from .263 to .370 in that brief span.
Struggles in the Seventh: The Missions entered the seventh inning of last night's game tied with Memphis 3-3 before surrendering three runs to the Redbirds and falling 6-3 in the series finale. The Missions have been outscored 17-2 in the seventh inning of games this season. The 17 runs allowed are the second most in a single inning by any team in the Pacific Coast League behind only 18 runs surrendered by Nashville in the third inning of ball games.
