Tommy La Stella was held without a walk for the second game in a row last night, but made up for it by hitting his first home run of the AFL campaign. La Stella now sports a robust 1.240 OPS in 40 plate appearances (small sample size alert!) so, yeah, that's not bad. Robby Hefflinger got the start in left field, and went hitless with 2 strikeouts. Kyle Kubitza had a hitless night as well, but added a walk in 4 plate appearances. Shae Simmons continued his strong run of late in AFL play, hurling 1.1 perfect innings in relief.
