 Thornton pitching against Altoona this week for the second time. He had a scoreless inning of relief with a strikeout back on Tuesday night. Right-handers, one and two pitches, shot found by Perez. Keep the count where it's at. Solid week at the plate for Joe Perez against the Rubber Ducks. He has seven hits in this series, including one today. He's reached base now in nine consecutive games.
