numbers to crunch

1 – RBI by Walker Robbins, the George County High star who went 2-for-3 with a triple in Sunday’s Perfect Game All-American Classic in San Diego. He drove in the only run the West team scored.
2 – Saves, in two opportunities, for Mississippi State alumnus Jonathan Papelbon over the 19 days he has been with slumping Washington, which has lost six straight and eight of 10.
3 – Place in the Southern League South standings held by the Mississippi Braves. The M-Braves are 27-22 with three straight losses headed into a five-game homestand that starts Tuesday against Birmingham.
4 – Triples this season by ex-Ole Miss star Seth Smith, who got his latest on Sunday for Seattle. He has zero stolen bases.
5 – Home runs over five consecutive games by Harrison Central product Bobby Bradley, who has 25 bombs for the season at Class A Lake County in Cleveland’s system.
6 – Runs allowed, in 3 1/3 innings, by ex-State star Kendall Graveman on Sunday in Oakland’s 18-2 loss to Baltimore. Graveman, 6-9, saw his ERA rise to 4.27.
7 – On-base streak for former Ole Miss standout Alex Yarbrough, who is batting just .241 with a .277 OBP for Salt Lake in his first Triple-A campaign in the Los Angeles Angels’ organization. “I think it’s big to finish strong in the last month,” Yarbrough, a .282 career hitter in the minors, told the Orange County Register.
