Stay hot, Buddy Kennedy. His eighth home run of the season knots the score at 1-1 for Lehigh Valley

Nice to see JT using the opposite field the last couple ABs

Defensive miscues cost Andrew Painter his first two runs, but this is just a cement mixer sitting in the middle of the plate that gets pummeled for a 2-run homer … Third homer allowed in Painter’s last two starts

Just 4 swings and miss for Andrew Painter on 32 swings through three innings … He’s allowed 7 hits and 5 runs so far … 38 of 48 pitches for strikes

A little checked swing single for Aidan Miller knocks in the second run of the game for Reading

Another hanger in the middle of the plate from Andrew Painter gets taken deep

My concern level doesn’t exist. Too small a sample size. Development is almost never a linear process. Struggling in AAA is a good thing. Much rather it happen here than in the big leagues. Figure out where changes need to be made and fix it. Mick Abel is a great example of this.

Love DeMartini getting a promotion while scorching hot. Should really give him an opportunity to get comfortable quickly

This is absurd … Painter threw nearly 80% (57 of 73) of his pitches for strikes

This swing from Aidan Miller 👀 He’s got an .806 OPS over his last 23 games even with a rough week in Harrisburg last week

Garrett Stubbs got Realmutoed in the eighth inning and eventually had to leave the game

Keaton Anthony has his 15th multi-hit game tonight for Reading … He had 3 through his first 22 games, he has 12 through his last 27 games

Good note from Tom on Justin Crawford. Sounds like they’re being overly cautious, which isn’t a bad thing. A good sign that Crawford is participating in pre-game activities

I don’t know if Worcester’s plan was to be aggressive against Andrew Painter last night, but he surely gave them opportunity to be. He lived in the middle of the strike zone, which he expressed to Tom Housenick in his story.

You're welcome for the content

It's amazing what happens when you stop pulling off of everything and using the middle and right side of the field

I always thought Anthony's promotion would be dependent on how long Otto Kemp was going to be in Philadelphia. This would leave me to believe that it's going to be longer-term. Anthony is a first base-only defender. Will be a nice addition to that offense

Strong outing for Fausnaught tonight 💪

Thanks to our GM Brett Veach for the well wishes! #GoBigRed
