Good morning! July 5 is a little bit like December 26 or January 1…

Except for the sunburn we’re currently nursing.

What are we serving up in today's Brew?

⚾️ Facing the best
🏀 Where can we get one of those
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Facing The Best. After his first two starts against Oakland and Kansas City, Gavin Williams was handed the ball against arguably the best lineup in the world, Atlanta, and performed well on Monday.

Williams tossed 6.1 innings and allowed four runs on seven hits to a Braves team that has the best record in Major League Baseball.

His ERA currently sits at 3.79.

🔼 Steady In St. Pete. Pirates are invading South Florida…

Shawn Armstrong has been fantastic out of the Tampa bullpen this season, striking out 15 hitters in 15.2 innings of work and owning a 1.15 ERA.

🔼 Plenty To Celebrate. Incoming women’s basketball freshman Jaedyn Cook just celebrated a birthday. Happy birthday, Jaedyn!

We would like to celebrate how awesome the letter jacket is that Jaedyn is wearing!
