Reading Smites Trenton, 16-3
The Reading Fightin Phils beat the Trenton Thunder, 16-3, at FirstEnergy Stadium. Jesús Mercado, who is tied for 4th in the EL in bases on balls with 48, starred for Reading. He went 3-5 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The Reading winning streak has reached 3 games.

With Reading leading 2-1 in the bottom of the first, Mercado hit a fastball from Juan Montalvo for a 2-run double. It was his 22nd double of the season and put the Fightin Phils ahead, 4-1.

"We're producers not directors," said Mercado. "Produce a good swing. Can't direct where it goes."
