A few random thoughts in advance of tonight’s series opener against the Beloit Snappers at Community Field

The current seven-game losing streak is the longest of the season for the Bees. Ryan Pineda’s four hits at Dayton on July 23 set a new single-game career high. He also hit two home runs on the road trip. Jose Macias allowed 10 hits in Dayton on July 24, the most hits allowed by a Burlington pitcher this season. DH A.J. Kirby-Jones’ sixth-inning home run Monday was the ninth home run of the season and his first home run on the road in 2011.
