A fair amount of good stuff in Louisville's 3-2 victory:

Neftali Soto, who was already hot, went 3-4.
Denis Phipps, who hasn't been hot, was also 3-4. He had a HR and 2 doubles.
Felix Perez had a couple knocks to raise his average to .298.
Pedro Villarreal had an excellent start: 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 8 K.
Nick Masset pitched an inning of shutout relief, and Jordan Smith threw the last two.

A lot of guys on this team struggling just to get a hit! I dont know if they are worn down or what. Henry Rodriguez batting .240 and Didi .243. Phipps is batting about .200 but he has come alive lately getting some hits!

Didi is suffering from some low BABIP.

HRod is suffering from poor plate discipline. A lot more strikeouts than walks. Very unlike him.
