Charlotte Knights (25-41)

Weekly Record: 2-4

The Jumbo Shrimp of Jacksonville made the trip to Charlotte this week, and the tough times continued for the Knights. The Knights dropped four of six as their tough season continues. Charlotte is in last place and 12.5 games back in the International League East Division.

Charlotte’s offense once again produced another week of solid, yet unspectacular production. The Knights hit Shrimp pitching to a .275/.329/.456 slash line and a .785OPS.

When thinking of the words to describe how the week went for Charlotte pitching, a popular gif popped into my head that accurately illustrates what happened, and that gif is, “Not great, Bob”. The Knights concluded the week with a team ERA of 6.22, a 1.80 WHIP, .295 Batting Average Against, 38 earned runs to 44 runs allowed, 66 hits to 55 innings pitched, 33 walks to 60 strikeouts, hitting three batters and allowing seven home runs.
