Monday in Brevard County, the Clearwater Threshers showed their resilience with a 4-3, 10-inning win after allowing the tying run in the 9th. Jared Simon continues to struggle, blowing the save but picking up the win when the Threshers scored twice in the 10th. Fidel Hernandez had a double and a 10th inning home run, Tim Kennelly had a walk and 3 doubles, the third one driving in what proved to be the winning run, and Dominic Brown had a hit, a walk, and drove in his 26th run of the season.
Kyle Drabek was solid for 5 innings, yielding just 1 run on 5 hits and 3 walks, striking out 5, lowering his ERA to 2.21. I believe Kyle will be heading to Reading soon. Zack Sterner and Chris Kissock each pitched scoreless relief and Walter Tejeda closed it out, picking up his 1st save.
On Tuesday, Clearwater won, 7-3 behind Carlos Monasterios (2-3, 3.24). Carlos went 5, allowed 3 runs, 2 earned, on 6 hits and 4 walks, picking up 6 Ks. Sterner recorded 2 outs and Dan Brauer turned in a great outing, going the final 3.1 frames, giving up NO hit, 1 walk, striking out 7. That has to be Brauer's best game this year. Kennelly had 2 more doubles, scored twice and drove in another to up his average to .300, and Joel Naughton had a single, a double, scored a run and knocked in 2. Mike Durant continues to show signs of coming out of his slump, with a triple, 2 walks, 2 runs scored and an RBI.
The Threshers are off on Wednesday and return home to face Daytona Thursday.
