Gerard Haran

Washington Wild Things finish 2-1 in a three game series this weekend. Friday’s game was won 10-6; Haran had four at bats and one run. Saturday, Haran had two hits, but it wasn’t enough as the Wild things fell 5-6.  Sunday and Monday, Gerard had the day off. The Wild Things season has ended.

Robert Lara

Lara got a single in Friday’s game but did not play Saturday, as the Padres fell to Giants and Angels.  The Arizona League schedule is over and Lara will go back home to South Florida for a few weeks before instructs begin.  Again, congratulations to Robert Lara for being named an AZL All-Star.

Dan Leatherman

Dan Leatherman did not play until Sunday. In Sunday’s game against Lake County, Leatherman came in and pitched 2.1 innings to lock up his second hold of the year.  He gave up one run, but struck out four. The Hagerstown Suns won all games in their weekend series.  More importantly, Leatherman has been called up to High A Potomac to help the Nationals in their first trip to the postseason since 2004.  Congratulations to Leatherman for getting the call up to join…

Kyle Gunderson

Kyle Gunderson continues to show that he has the make-up to perform at higher levels.  On Friday, he logged two innings of no run ball, dropping his ERA to a healthy 1.46.  Gunderson is ready to help out his team as they enter the playoffs.
