On Tuesday, the right hander took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Richmond Flying Squirrels (SF). He had allowed three baserunners on a walk and two errors before a one-out single broke up the no-no. Fife, a 3rd round pick in 2008, finished his outing with 6.1 innings pitched and just the one hit while also fanning seven batters. His record now sits at 6-3 with an ERA of 2.94 and a WHIP of 1.17. The 24 year old was also named Eastern League Player of the Week thanks to his stellar performance.
Jacobs collected 9 hits and 6 RBI this week, both of which tied for the lead amongst Red Sox minor leaguers. The 20 year old posted a line of .375/.423/.667 and his OPS of 1.090 was tops in the system, excluding the Dominican Summer League. Though he went just 1 for 5 on Thursday, the 2009 10th-round pick provided the big blow against the Rome Braves, with a 3-run homer in the seventh on the way to an eventual 5-4 Drive victory. Jacobs has performed well all season, hitting at a .341/386/.683 clip.
