Down On The Farm: Ben Zobrist Starting To Find His Groove Again
Durham 7, Norfolk 2. Tony Peguero making just his 8th start for Durham, allowed 2 runs in 6 innings to pick up his 2nd win of the year. Jon Weber was 2-5 an hit his second home run since being acquired by the Devil Rays. He now has 7 RBI in 5 games. After struggling most of the season at Durham, Ben Zobrist was 2-3 and is 14-36 in the last 10 games (.389) to boost his average up to .276. A name we haven't mentioned much this year, Elliot Johnson was 2-3 with a double and 2 RBI. He now has multi-hit games in 6 of his last 10 (.378) but is still only hitting .217 on the year.

Mobile 9, Montgomery 5. James Houser gave up 6 runs (4 earned) in 5 innings to drop to 4-4 on the season. Three players collected three hits, including Fernando Perez (3-5) and Evan Longoria (3-4). Reid Brignac was 1-5 but did collect his 13th home run, a 2-run shot in the 9th.

Hopefully Zobrist or somebody else (Evan or Aki?) can be the answer at short. Harris can hit, but he's got the proverbial iron glove with no range. And as a 2nd baseman, Wilson makes a good bench warmer. It's amazing how many plays those two (plus Wiggy, who also has very limited range away from first or third) don't make.

Rays' pitching is bad, but having such poor fielders in the middle of the infield is a big problem begging for a salution, imo.
