This past Tuesday night, three members of the Lowell Spinners traveled to Troy, NY to take part in the NYPL All-Star game. Infielder Garrett Benge, Outfield Yoan Aybar, and pitcher Denyi Reyes saw time in the game with Benge getting a starting nod.

The three players were part of the North squad that lost by a 5-2 score. The game was tied going to the top of the ninth when the south team pushed across three runs to win the game.

Benge was 0-1 with a walk, Aybar came into the game and when 0-2 with two strikeouts and Reyes came out of the North bullpen to pitch an inning in which he faced six batters, giving up 2H, 1ER, 1BB, and no strikeouts. He threw 24 pitches of which 14 were for strikes.

When the Spinners return to play in Vermont this week, they will have a couple of warm bats at their disposal. Mariano Campana will return to action with a season best 16 game hit streak. The streak is the third longest in the league this season. He is also driving in runs during this streak. He has RBI in six straight games and has 17 on the year which placed him third on the team.

The other “warm” bat belongs to Juan Barriento who quietly has put together a seven game stretch of his own. He leads the team in both home runs with three, and in runs scored with 22. Keeping these bats going will be a key for the Spinners over the final 24 games of the year.

Zach Sterry has been solid since joining the Spinners at the beginning of the month. His defense at first base has been good, and he has chipped in offensively with the lumber in his hands. In eight games played, Sterry has hit .304 with two extra bases, both doubles, and six runs batted in.

The new closer of the Spinners is Dominic LoBrutto, who took over the job when Juan Florentino was promoted earlier this month. So far so good for the new man at the back-end of the pen. LoBrutto has converted all four of his save chances so far, sporting a 1-0 record with a 2.35  ERA.
