- Lights Out - Shawn Armstrong hasn't allowed a run in 16.1 frames (seven appearances). Dale Dickerson has made five straight appearances without allowing a run, and opposing right-handed hitters have a measly .135 average in 37 at-bats against him.
- Ups and Downs - Since returning from a week-long hiatus, Tony Wolters is hitting .350 (7x20), and is on a five-game hitting streak. Tyler Holt has a hit in six of his last seven games. Holt has reached base in 16 consecutive appearances. On the other side, Jake Lowery is hitless in his last four outings, and is mired in a 3x37 slump.
