Tyson Brummett had a good day for Reading Monday, tossing 7 strong innings, giving up just 2 runs on 7 hits, 3 walks, and receiving no decision in Reading's 5-3 loss to Akron. Tyson, with his 3rd team already this year is 1-3, 4.43 with Reading and 6-6, 3.38 in his 20 starts overall for Lakewood, Clearwater and the R-Phils. Clay Harris had 2 hits for the Phillies, and is hitting .300 (1 HR, 3 RBI) in 6 games since his promotion last week.
The Threshers continued to struggle, losing again to Daytona 3-2. No Thresher had more than 1 hit, but Joe Savery was the DH again. That is the second time in a week that big right-hander was used in this capacity, he is 1 for 5.
A quick note about C.J. Henry, who after a slow start is 6 for his last 17 (that's .353) for the Tampa Yankees and is hitting .234 in 20 games, with 2 HR and 6 RBI. Let's see, he got his eyes fixed and got all other injuries out of his system and is turning into a good outfielder. No wonder Baseball America named him best athlete in the Yankee system before he was traded to us in 2006.
Most minor leagues are also off today for the major league All-Star Game tonight. Lakewood is en route to Hickory, North Carolina to take on the Crawdads starting Wednesday, Clearwater will start a series at Brevard County, also Wednesday, and Reading is off until Thursday when they play at Bowie. Wednesday is the Eastern League All-Star game, and 7 R-Phils will be in that game. The are ALL HomeSiders: Carrasco, Donald, Golson, Marson, Outman, Overholt, and Slayden. All 7 have championship rings from either 2006 in Lakewood and/or 2007 in Clearwater.
