Terrific Tommy : Since returning from Jersey Shore (A+) on May 1, Tommy McCollum has been excellent out of the bullpen. After two-perfect innings on Tuesday night, McCollum now has a 0.68 ERA (1 ER, 13.1 IP) over eight appearances. He has also struck out 10 and now issued a single walk yet. McCollum has not allowed a run over his last six outings (11.1 IP) and has allowed a run in just one of his eight appearances so far. Since May 1, McCollum has the fifth-lowest ERA amongst Eastern League relievers who have made at least eight appearances. - Jake Starr - Reading Director of PR/Media Relations, Client Fulfillment & Broadcaster
