Conor Jackson continued to hit as well, after being named player of the week for the first week. He went 2-4 with 2 RBI to push his RBI total to 10 in 13 games.

The Gigantes lost 4-3, and fell to 0-8 on the road, while they are 5-1 at home. San Fransisco de Macoris does have the best fans that I have seen (I have attended games in Santiaogo and Santo Domingo). The atmosphere is better than a lot of MLB miseason games that I have attended. They are really in to the game and cheer loudly, even at times that do not seem to be big moments. But does a home field crowd really make that much of difference (0-8 vs. 5-1)? They need to improve on the road.
