Since being signed by the Rays and assigned to Durham, Cummings is 5-0 in 5 starts with a 0.84 ERA. He has allowed 15 hits and 7 walks in 32 innings, while striking out 29...Juan Salas pitched the final 2 innings...Elliot Johnsonwas 3-4 with a double and an RBI..Ben Zobrist batted third and played third base in place of Joel Guzman. He went 0-4 with a walk...Fernando Perez was 2-5 with 3 strikeouts...Dan Johnson went 2-3 with 2 walks and Reid Brignac was 0-3 with an RBI.

Montgomery 11, Carolina 4. Wade Davis picked up his 6th win with 6 innings of work. He did allow 2 runs on 9 hits and 2 walks.

He struck out 2 and walked 2...Sergio Pedroza hit a 3-run double and John Jaso drove in a run on 1-2 with 3 walks.

Vero Beach 3, Jupiter 1. David Price continues his domination of the FSL. In 7 shutout innings, he allowed only 3 hits and 1 walk with 6 strikeouts.

On the year now, Price has only allowed 8 hits and 2 walks with 19 strikeouts in 18 innings and he is yet to allow a run...Desmond Jennings went 2-3 in just his second game off the DL...Garrett Groce and Ryan Royster provided RBI.
