C Patrick Mazeika has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.

INF/OF Brandon Drury has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.

RHP Robert Stock has been claimed from the Chicago Cubs and has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.

Vulgar Pete Alonso is not in today’s starting lineup.

It is wet out, I sure hope The Big Zero doesn’t have problems with his grip all of a sudden, that would be weird.

Stroman has allowed only 14 extra-base hits in 84.1 innings, the second-fewest among the 49 pitchers in the majors who have thrown at least 75.0 innings this season…Only Brandon Woodruff (12) has allowed fewer…Ranks 15th in the majors and 11th in the NL in opponent slugging (.325)…He has four starts this season in which he’s pitched at least 5.0 innings without allowing a single extra-base hit, tied for the second-most in the majors.

Everyday 1B Dominic Smith recorded his 100th career extra-base hit in game one yesterday…He has 11 RBI in June after having eight RBI in both April and May…He had four extra-base hits this April, five in May and now has six so far in June…Smith is batting .346/.356/.475 in 20 games this month.
