Marson gets 3 hits, Golson notches game winner

Lou Marson had 2 singles, a double, scored a run and drove 1 in, and Carlos Carrasco settled down after giving up 2 in the 1st inning to turn in another positive performance, leaving after 7 with a 3-2 lead, but Rochester rallied for 3 in the 9th to take a 5-3 decision from Lehigh Valley Friday night. Carrasco gave up just the 2 runs (on a 2-run homer by Justin Huber), on 6 hits and 2 walks, striking out 6. Carlos seems to by finding whatever it was that has been lacking this year, throwing much better in the last 2 starts. Jeremy Slayden had another hit, to give him a modest 6 game hitting streak.

In Oklahoma City, Greg Golson (.289) smacked the game-winning single, his 3rd hit of the night, in the bottom of the 9th to give the Red Hawks a 6-5 win over Albuquerque. Greg had 2 singles, a triple, a walk, stole his 6th base, and scored twice. In Sacramento, Gio Gonzalez threw 7 shut out innings against Las Vegas, surrendering only 2 hits and 3 walks, striking out 6. Sacramento topped Vegas, 2-1 in 16 innings. In Bowie, Zack Segovia threw 4 shut out innings for the Senators, as Harrisburg beat the BaySox, 8-4. Zack, who allowed 3 hits and 1 walk, striking out 5 to record his 2nd "hold" of the year, seems to be getting stronger each outing as the recovery from his surgeries continues to improve. The news is not so good for Brian Schlitter, who blew his 3ed save and absorbed his 3rd loss for the Tennessee Smokies last night. Brian came into the game with a 2-1 lead, and gave up 3 runs, on 4 hits and a walk in 1.1 innings.

Adrian Cardenas (.381) had an RBI single and dove in another run with a sac fly as the Midland Rock Hounds took a 7-1 decision from Northwest Arkansas Naturals.
