I go the same place for the boxes. and here's what I found for Sunday:

Lots of good hitting and bad pitching. 1 win in 5 games.

Highlights:
A. Martinez 4-5 including 10th double and 5th homer; hitting 294 ops 895
Planez single and 6th homer; can't get monthly split at that site but he's much much improved in June
G. Rodriguez 2-5
J. Rodriguez back from IL with a double
WOLF 2 1/3 4 3 2 0 4

Lake County, 2 loses
Bracho 2-3 and 1-5
Rocchio 0-2 and 2-5
Lavastida 2-5 and homer in the other game
Tena 3-4 with 2 doubles
HICKMAN 4 7 8 8 5 1 3 HOMERS

Akron:
Benson triple #5, double single walk up to 226 OPS 890
Oscar G 2-5 335 OPS 971
Tyler Freeman remains out
HILLMAN 4 6 4 4 2 3

Columbus:
Giminez single and double
Jones 16th double and 4th homer and 4 rbi; he's coming along
Arias 3 hits including a double.

Not had too many guys on the BA weekly Hot Sheet but Logan Jr. makes it today. If anyone had picked him and Angel Martinez as breakout candidates they'd be winners.


13. Logan T. Allen, LHP, Indians
Team: High-A Lake County (Central)
Age: 22

Why He’s Here: 1-0, 0.00, 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 9 SO

The Scoop: While the older and more well-known Logan Allen has struggled for the Indians both in the majors and at Triple-A, the other Logan Allen in the Indians system is faring quite well. The younger Allen, who was the Indians’ second-round pick out of Florida International last year, delivered the best start of his young career with six scoreless innings and a career-high nine strikeouts at Great Lakes on June 24. He improved to 4-0, 1.79 in his first eight career starts, with 58 strikeouts and 12 walks in 45.1 innings. (KG)

And look who else, who I've been promoting recently, Indians may promote him midyear too. Warning: Benson almost always start out ice cold at a new level.

15. Will Benson, OF, Indians
Team: Double-A Akron (Northeast)
Age: 23

Why He’s Here: .421/.519/.947 (8-for-19), 6 R, 3 2B, 2 3B, 1 HR, 8 RBIs, 5 BB, 5 SO.

The Scoop: It’s been a slow climb through the minors for Benson. A 2016 first-round pick, Benson was left unprotected in last year’s Rule 5 draft and went unselected. Teams were scared off by his struggles to make contact at the plate. He struggles to time his swing, and this year is his first stint above Class A. But Benson does have impressive physical tools and has long shown an ability to draw walks to pair with his impressive power. This year, both of his best attributes (the walks and power) have been solid, but his batting average, as usual, has not kept pace. Benson has a .407 on-base percentage, and his five triples (tied for fifth most in the minors) have pushed his slugging percentage to .484. But his batting average is .226. There’s something here, but Benson still hasn’t put it all together. (JC) EDITOR'S NOTE: he's hit 266 this month
