Welcome to the weekend! The rhythm of the baseball week turns to Friday night fireworks displays and afternoon ball as the long series begin to wind down.

HITTER of the NIGHT: Ismael Munguia (Rich), 2 for 4, HR (1), 3 RBI, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
PITCHER of the NIGHT: Kyle Harrison (Sac), 3.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 5 K
