RHP Corbin Burnes (0-0, 0.00) vs. RHP Yoanys Quiala (6-5, 6.12)

Spangy's Streak: Cory Spangenberg is on a three-game RBI streak after his two-run single in Sunday's game. He has driven in multiple runs in each of those three games. It is the first time in his career that he has recorded three-straight multi-RBI games. His longest career RBI streak is six games, which he posted this season from July 11-16.

Scoring Frenzy: The Missions scored 10 runs in each of their three games over the weekend as they swept the Omaha Storm Chasers. It is the first time San Antonio has scored at least 10 runs in three straight games since September 3-5, 2011. The last time the Missions scored at least 10 runs in four straight games was from April 8-11, 2000 at Double-A Midland.

Monthly Records: With two games remaining in the month of July, the Missions have surpassed their record for home runs in a month and they are closing in on other monthly records since 2005 when MLBAM began compiling statistics.

Month to Remember: Missions outfielder Trent Grisham has scored 26 runs in the month of July which places his him second for a Missions player since 2005 behind Fernando Tatis, Jr.'s 30 runs in May 2018. Grisham (35) and Cory Spangenberg (34) are closing in on 40 hits in the month of July. It would be the seventh and eighth times since 2005 a Missions player collected 40 hits in a month. Travis Shaw became the 13th Missions player to homer eight times in a month and Grisham could become the 14th to do so, as he currently has seven home runs this month. The record for most home runs by a Missions player in a month is 10 (Nathan Freiman, April 2012 & Cody Decker, April 2011).

Familiar Face: Sacramento manager Dave Brundage is no stranger to Wolff Stadium. The River Cats' skipper managed the Missions from 2001-05 and went 368-326 (.530) in his five-year stint including back-to-back Texas League championships in 2002 and 2003. His 368 wins are good for third all-time in franchise history.
