Star of the Day: Jordan Danks
On a day when his brother got a win for the parent club, the younger Danks was the lone bright spot for Charlotte by going 3-3 with a double. Danks is hitting .333/.359/.583 over his last 10 games with 12 hits against 9 strikeouts in 36 at-bats. Danks’ season averages at Charlotte still leave a lot to be desired at .237/.320/.468 but signs are pointing up.
