Lets start at the top, HomeSiders.
Michael Bourn got the better of Kyle Kendrick and the Phillies, Bourn providing both runs in a 2-1 Astros victory, that Kendrick certainly deserved better from. Bourn singled to lead off, stole second (his league leading 8th) and scored the first run of the game. Then, in the 5th, Michael smacked one off the foul pole for his second home run of the year and the margin of victory for Houston. Kendrick was strong, going 7, allowing just the 2 runs on 4 hits, 1 walk, striking out 5.
Matt Maloney notched his first AAA win, working through 5.1 innings against Norfolk, 3 runs on 6 hits and 1 walk, 6 strike outs. Two of the outs he recorded came against Chris Roberson, who later singled, drove in a run and stole his 3rd base of the year.
In Rochester, Bobby Korecky gave up a run for the first time this year, and took a loss as a result. Bobby has picked up 2 wins and 2 saves so far, surrendering just the 1 run in 9.2 innings of work.
Robinson Tejeda has decided to report to AAA Oklahoma, and got into 2 games this week. In 2.1 innings, Tejeda allowed just 2 hits, striking out 5.
The Lakewood BlueClaws lost both games to Lake County, 12-1 Wednesday night and 3-0 Thursday afternoon. The BlueClaws managed just 3 hits in each game and will not be unhappy to see Lake County leave town. The Captains have won 6 of 8 against Lakewood to start the year. Chance Chapman pitched well enough to win, but received no support despite throwing 6 and giving up just 1 earned run. The BlueClaws are now 5-9 and take on Delmarva Friday night.
I will talk about the rest of Thursday's action tomorrow.
