During the week he led the Eastern League in slugging percentage (.826) and extra base hits (5). He ranked second in the league in hitting (.435) and tied for second with 10 hits, three doubles, and two home runs.
Brentz etched his name in the Sea Dogs record book on Thursday, May 31st when he collected his second five hit game of the season, becoming the first player in franchise history to collect five hits in a game multiple times. Brentz went 5-for-5 against the Harrisburg Senators including three doubles, which also tied a franchise record.
