Daily Video Rundown
Omar Cruz
The lefty has been one of the more consistent pitchers for the Altoona Curve this year, posting a 2.86 ERA with 28 strikeouts and only eight walks in 22 innings. He has also held opponents to an .190 average.
After making his first four appearances out of the bullpen, Cruz has started his last two. While he struggled last week against Akron, Cruz pitched strong on Friday against Erie. In five innings, he gave up just one run and no walks while striking out four batters.
He got 12 whiffs on the night, using a little bit of each of his three pitches to get his opponents missing.

Brenden Dixon
Dixon has been hitting the cover off the ball lately and when he’s made contact it’s been for power. Of his 18 hits this season, 11 have been for extra-bases. In this series against Tampa Bay, he has gone 5-for-15 with two home runs and a double.
This home run was his fourth of the season.
Lolo Sanchez
Before Sabol gave the Curve the lead for good, it was Lolo Sanchez that tied the game up at one with this RBI single.
