Bit of a struggle going 9-11 over the next 20 and we are 7 behind the Expos and 5 behind the Braves for the wild card now. We outscored the opposition by 10 runs in that stretch, but we lost a few close games and now we need a good run of games before the season slips away.
Rookie Darin Erstad is having a nice season hitting .318/.377/.441 and playing solid defense. Jeff King has had a great month and is up to .301 with 15 home runs.
We need a 2nd baseman. Cris Colon hasn't progressed from his 68 RBI rookie season and is just hitting .220. We called up Tony Tarasco and he has hit .380 in 80 AB, so we will give him a few weeks to see if he can be a decent replacement.
