Jake Peter carried a nine-game hitting streak with him from Birmingham to Charlotte, although it was the kind of hitting streak that reflected lucky sequencing (11-for-35, all singles).
He’s now doubled that streak by hitting in his first nine games at Charlotte, and after a 3-for-4 night on Friday, one can say he’s tearing the cover off the ball.
- First nine: .314/.385/.314, 0 XBH, 3 BB, 13 K over 40 PA
- New nine: .447/.475/.868, 8 XBH, 2 BB, 8 K over 40 PA
While the hitting streak is fresh, Peter has been raking for more than two months now. He boasts a .327/.396/.488 line over 65 games since the start of May. Peter is not yet on the 40-man roster and is yet another White Sox utility infielder, so it’s hard to say whether he will get an opportunity in September, but he’s making a hard push for a call-up.

- Danny Mendick went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout.
