In his first start of the season, RHP Peter Lambert (No. 4 PuRP) earned a no-decision after throwing six shutout innings against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. The 2015 second round draft pick out of San Dimas, CA gave up five hits and one walk, but had no runs and five strikeouts. Lambert was the glimmer of hope during the Yard Goats fourth straight loss, in which the team combined for five hits and two runs, leaving seven on base. Sam Hilliard also continued his base stealing streak, adding two more bags to his total on Sunday.
Other notable performances came out of Albuquerque where Tom Murphy (No. 11 PuRP) and Jordan Patterson (No. 14 PuRP) went a combined 5-for-6 with two doubles, a home run, and three walks in the Isotopes’ win over Salt Lake. Shortstop Anthony Phillips also had a big night, recording three hits, two runs (including two doubles and a home run), and three RBI in five at-bats.
