ITEM
It would be pretty easy to look at Wil Myers' statistics and wonder if anything's wrong. Talk to the slugger and he'll tell you the answer -- nothing. The Rays top prospect homered twice Tuesday night and helped Triple-A Durham rally for a 9-8 triumph over visiting Buffalo.
Myers slugged a two-run shot in the seventh inning that hit off the fourth balcony in left-center field, a shot described as "one of the longest hit at Durham Bulls Athletic Park." He connected for another two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, lifting the Bulls into an 8-8 tie.
Batting .298 after a 2-for-4 performance on May 2, Myers went 10-for-62 over his next 18 games as his average dipped to .244. Since then, he's gone deep five times, driven in 15 runs and is riding a six-game hitting streak. Despite the slump, the 22-year-old outfielder never felt like anything was wrong, except, perhaps, his luck.
WINNER
Riptorns. Myers will provide scuffling team the mid-season jolt it will need to stay in the money as this squad STARTS TO HEAT UP.  
LOSER
Berliners. Owner touts prospects when on his team, trashes the same guys when he trades them away, but in this instance the BERLINERS ARE GONNA GET BURNED.
