In Allentown Friday night, Carlos Carrasco made his 2nd good start for Lehigh Valley, throwing 6 innings, and giving up just 3 UNEARNED runs on 8 hits, NO walks, and 10 strike outs. It was his first AAA win and he has yet a to allow an earned run in 12.2 innings of work. If my estimate is right, he will make his next start for the Pigs Friday night in Scranton against the Yankees.
Matt Maloney returned from the DL and made his first appearance for Louisville since July 17 Friday night. Matt gave up 1 run on 5 hits and 2 walks against Columbus, recording no decision. Maloney is 9-4, 4.09 in 21 starts for the Reds affiliate.
In other news, Adrian Cardenas has been promoted by the Oakland A's to AA Midland, where he is now a teammate of Josh Outman. Josh pitched 5 strong innings Thursday night against Northwest Arkansas to record his first win for the Rock Hounds. Adrian is 3 for 12 (.250) in his 3 starts for Midland, and is now playing for his 3rd squad in 3 different leagues this year.
The Phillies' trade for Scott Eyre sent HomeSider Brian Schlitter to the Cubs system. Brian, who was 4-3 with 6 saves and a 2.22 ERA for Clearwater, stays in the FSL, being assigned to Daytona. Schlitter made his debut for Daytona last night, tossing 2 scoreless innings.
Quintin Berry continues the hottest streak of any HomeSider in 2008, going 1 for 4 last night to extend the streak to 25 games in a row. Q is now hitting .282, and also set a Clearwater franchise mark for steals, picking up 2 more last night to run his total to 42.
The BlueClaws got another fine pitching performance from the 2008 draft class Friday night as Vance Worley won his second game in Lakewood's 4-3 victory in Hagerstown. Lakewood is 5-2 on the current road trip with the finale tonight in western Maryland, and remains 1.5 games behind West Virginia in the quest for a playoff spot. The BlueClaws are 69-49 on the year with 22 games left.
