Weekend Notes:

Richmond: (1-2)

• Gregor Blanco has settled into his role as the new leadoff hitter in Richmond. He went 4-5 with 3 RBI's and a stolen base on Saturday. His speed could bring him to Atlanta soon.
• Matt Wright was promoted from Mississippi and just got blasted in his first start. He gave up 10 runs in 3.2 innings as Richmond fell 23-11. It was so bad that catcher, Carlos Mendez, had to get the final out of the game. Vladimer Nunez got pounded and Will Startup didn't pitch too well either. On the bright side, the offense was led by James Jurries' 2 home runs.
