On the Rise

Brooklyn is Moving On Up:

At 48-40, Brooklyn is within 3 1/2 games of first place Darwin. This time on GameDay 88, it was a team effort lead by slugger Miguel Cabrera. The left fielder drove in seven runs and hit two long balls. The big offensive effort was capped by the gem tossed of starter Jeremy Bonderman. ALthough Bonderman struggled in April and May, he has turned it on completely moving closer to an All-Star bid. A stellar 2.94 Earned Run Average covers a modest 7-4 record. The ERA is good for third in the league, strikeouts (fourth) and batting average against (sixth) making Bonderman the dark horse CY Young candidate. He may have had the biggest impact giving the Moabs bullpen the night off.
Rumor has it, the Moabs have been searching for relief help but have hit a wall due to the lack of participation of cellar dwellers. So, the front office has turned to its minor league ball club, Syracuse. The Moabs called on right-handed phenom, Fausto Carmona. He will be inserted into the bullpen to stabilize middle relief. If he is not getting enough innings, then he will get a few spot starts.
