Dragons On The Field


  • Outfielder Taylor Trammell is 12 for his last 24 at the plate over the last eight games he has played in. He has also reached safely in each of his last eight plate appearances. He has recorded five hits and walked three times in that span.  

  • Jose Siri has enjoyed an impressive second half that has resulted in his name appearing among the league leaders in an assortment of categories. He is first in hits, total bases, and stolen bases; second in extra base hits and slugging percentage; tied for second in home runs; third in runs scored; and sixth in batting average.

  • With a 41-29 record in the first half, the Dragons clinched a playoff spot as the first half wild card in the Eastern Division. The Dragons last postseason appearance came back in 2011 when they were defeated in the first round by the Lansing Lugnuts.
