Hens Notes

Week recap: Toledo started the week strong with a 4-0 win at Indianapolis when Jacob Turner, Phillippe Aumont, Victor Alcantara, Zac Houston and Johnny Barbato combined for a three-hit shutout of the Indians. After dropping a season high four straight games, the Hens offense roared to life Saturday night at Fifth Third Field with homers from Edwin Espinal and Jarrod Saltalamacchia plus triples from Mikie Mahtook and Christin Stewart in a 7-4 win. Toledo finished the week with a 2-5 record.

Hits, hits and more hits: Dawel Lugo has been scorching at the plate with at least a hit in eight straight games.
