OUTSIDE LOOKING IN: With a loss on June 30 loss, the Curve dropped out of first place in the E.L. West for the first time since April 18, a span covering 64 straight games. Dating back to July 24, 2016, they were in first place in the division for 100 of 108 games. ESPINAL, LA ESTRELLA: First baseman Edwin Espinal was added to the Eastern League Western Division All-Star roster on Monday, giving the team six selections this season, tied for the most in the league.

Jordan Luplow, Wyatt Mathisen, Kevin Kramer, Alex McRae and Montana DuRapau were named to the All-Star rosters last Wednesday. BATTLING THE INJURY BUG: After placing just three players on the disabled list for the entire season in 2015 and three in all of 2016, the Curve have placed eight different players on their DL this year. Currently there are six players on the disabled list, including three of the team's top-five prospects on MLB.com (Kevin Kramer, Brandon Waddell and Connor Joe). HELLO, NEWMAN: Over his last 16 games since June 17, Kevin Newman is hitting.353 (24/68) and has just six strikeouts. His season average has increased from.229 to.258.

SUIT UP!: In the month of June, Jerrick Suiter hit.354 (23/65) with four home runs and 11 RBIs in 22 games, leading the Pirates' system in batting average for the month. Overall since June 2, Suiter is batting.365 (31/85), the best in the Pittsburgh system during that stretch with five homers, 16 RBIs and 17 walks. Over his last two games, Suiter has reached base in eight consecutive plate appearances (7-for-7, HR, BB, 2 R, 3 RBI) EDWINNING: 2016 E.L.

He has the third-best strikeout rate in the league (9.58 TPA/SO) and had multiple strikeouts in a game just four times. WHAT A RELIEF: The Curve bullpen has been tough to hit this year. Lefty Sean Keselica has held opposing hitters to a.172 average when pitching out of the pen, second-best in the league, and ON THE LAST HOMESTAND Tate Scioneaux (.195) is ranked fifth. Miguel Rosario is first in ERA (0.94), Montana DuRapau is third (1.51), Keselica is eighth (1.99) and Scioneaux is Games...3 ninth (2.08) in ERA out of the relievers in the league with at least 30 innings Record pitched.
