First strikeout for Riley Greene since Feb. 23. He'd had one swing-and-miss since then, a foul tip against Dennis Santana on Tuesday at DR, until he whiffed on consecutive fastballs from Connelly Early today.
Before that, Casey Mize threw one of his better splitters of the day to strike out Konnor Griffin, who had gotten Mize for a line-drive single a couple innings earlier.
3 potential fantasy aces.
All 7 could be frontline #fantasybaseball starters this season.
You could draft any or all of them in round 20 or later, based on their current ADPs

Ziggy, Stormii and Blanca. Ziggy is a tuxedo cat with a pink nise and soulful eyes, Stormii is a fluffy tabby with a white chest, and Blanca is a white cat with a pink nose who looks sad but staff say the pic doesn't show her personality because she doesn't like being caged.
Meanwhile, Ziggy's mates Stormii and Blanca are still stuck at ACCT and scheduled to be euthanized tomorrow & Sat, respectively. The org says Blanca's pic doesn't do her personality justice bc she just doesn't like being in a cage (shocker). Please consider helping them, too! See contacts above.
