Christopher Cody has been a man on fire for West Michigan lateley.  He gave up just one run on six hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in seven innings of work and the win improved his record to 2-0.  The eighth round draft pick in 2006, Cody has now just given up one earned run in 26 2/3 innings and he’s struck out 28.  This is one of those guys who doesn’t throw really well and until starts facing guys in Double A, we really won’t know if he’s for real.  Those number are pretty amazing though and he’s a left hander, which makes it even better.

Jeramy Laster went one for four with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.  Gorkys Hernandez scored twice and Louis Ott finished with three hits, a run and an RBI in the 8-2 win.
