LAST TIME OUT: The Cyclones picked up their 15th straight home win in a 4-2 victory over Asheville on Wednesday night...The Brooklyn bullpen was untouchable, as RHP Brian Metoyer, RHP Raimon Gomez, LHP Ryan Ammons, and RHP Ben Simon combined on 4.2 scoreless innings...The quartet permitted just 1 hit, while striking out 7 and walking only 2...Ammons collected the win, while Simon picked up his first save of his pro career...Offensively, 1B Jacob Reimer and 2B Marco Vargas finished with multi-hit days, while SS Boston Baro drove in a pair...The 'Clones broke a 2-2 tie with a couple of runs in the 8th on RBI extra-base knocks from Reimer and RF Carson Benge.
THE NUMBER ONE SPOT: The Cyclones are mired in a 3-team race for the South Atlantic League First Half North Division crown...Entering play on Tuesday, Brooklyn holds a 1.5-game lead on Greensboro for 1st place in the division...The Cyclones are 5.5 games up on 3rd-place Hudson Valley with 7 games remaining in the first half...Brooklyn's magic number to clinch the first half division crown is 6...Any Cyclones wins or Grasshoppers losses will decrease the number...Brooklyn does not play Hudson Valley or Greensboro for the remainder of the half...Greensboro has played one series (April 15-20 vs. Jersey Shore) against a North Division foe and will not play another until the second half (July 1-6 vs./at Aberdeen).
HORSES IN THE 'PEN: Brooklyn relievers have been exquisite as of late... The Cyclones' bullpen arms have given up only 2 ER through the first two games of this week's series against Asheville...Since June 1, Brooklyn holds the 3rd best bullpen ERA in the South Atlantic League at 2.95...During that same span, the bullpen has accrued a 4-2 record, is a perfect 3-for-3 in save opportunities, and has garnered 55 strikeouts to just 19 walks...On the year, Brooklyn's bullpen holds a 3.30 ERA, 2nd behind only Hudson Valley (2.71).
