Good Series
Ken Griffey, Jr. - Went 4 of 10, with his first home run of the season in game 3. FYI, a countdown to 600 will start after he hits one more to reach 595.

Jarred Burton - Over 2 games, pitched 2.1 innings of relief, striking out 4, walking one, and allowed no earned runs.

Jeff Keppinger - Went 6 of 16, with 4 RBI.

Bad Series
Josh Fogg - Started game 1, going 4 innings, giving up 6 earned runs and 3 walks.

Adam Dunn - Went 2 of 13, striking out 3 times in game 4.

Bronson Arroyo - Started game 4, giving up 5 earned runs in 5.2 innings, giving up 4 home runs.

Thoughts
Volquez had a good debut. Fogg did not. Even though it is still early, Fogg is the starting pitcher that is on the hot seat. Belisle has started his rehab, and when he returns to the line up, someone is most likely going to be sent down to Louisville. A bullpen spot would be possible, but so far, the bullpen has been solid.

Overal record: 4-3
Series record: 1-0-1
