Happy Thursday from NBT Bank Stadium. The Chiefs are hoping to avoid a four-game sweep today against the Gwinnett Braves. They’ll do so with Ross Ohlendorf on the mound for the first time after tying a career high with 11 strikeouts.

- Here’s the game story from Ohlendorf’s last 11-K game…complete with some Albert Pujols heroics.

- Partially thanks to Jason Grilli, there are sharks in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ clubhouse. Seriously- And.

- Speaking of…are those Pirates finally for real? Really for real?

- A look at how Gus Johnson’s learning on the job for the 2018 World Cup.

- Today’s Song of the Day comes from one of my favorite albums of 2013 – the self-titled album from Jake Bugg, a 19-year-old British singer-songwriter. Here’s “Lightning Bolt”, which you may have heard in a Gatorade commercial…

- And today’s Chief of the Day gets awarded to Alex Rios! Some fun facts…

Rios is off to a red-hot start with the White Sox, posting a .284/.344/.505 line in 51 games. He’s swatted 10 homers and stolen eight bases. He’s 16th in the American league in slugging percentage and 17th in WAR (according to ESPN).
In 46 games with the 2004 Chiefs, he sported a .259/.292/.373 line – not great, but good enough to get him up to Toronto that season.
He inspired this from Hawk Harrelson.

Chiefs and G-Braves at 7:00 tonight. See you there.

Syracuse Chiefs — Tue, 28 May 2013 19:21:42 +0000

The Chiefs and Braves return to NBT Bank stadium for the second of a four-game series at 7:00. Here’s todays Chiefs lineup…

Perez CF

Rahl RF

Rhymes 2B

Marrero 1B

Brown LF

Rivero 3B

Walters SS

Watts C

Torra P

1. Eury Perez looks to extend his hitting streak to 15 games. He holds the franchise record with a 23-game hit streak (over two seasons). Perez also has owned hit streaks of 14 and 19 in his Syracuse tenure. 82.4% of his Syracuse games to date have fallen within one of those three hit streaks.

2. Zach Walters hit his 10th home run last night, tying Chris Marrero for the Syracuse lead. That homer made the Chiefs just one of two International League teams with a pair of 10-homer batters this season, along with Buffalo (Mauro Gomez and Luis Jiminez).

3. Chris Rahl is back in the starting lineup after his 17-game hit streak came to an end during a pinch-hit appearance last night.
