In Chicago Thursday night, Gavin Floyd shook off a 66-minute rain delay at the start of the game and then threw 7.2 innings, allowing the Yankees just 1 run on 4 hits and 1 walk, striking out 10 in the process. He left the game with a 2-1 advantage, but it evaporated when Nick Swisher homered off of Thornton with 2 out in the 9th. Floyd stays at 8-6 for the year.
In Portland, Randy Ruiz belted his 23rd home run, a 2-run shot in the 3rd inning of Las Vegas' 6-1 win over the Beavers. Randy has a Pacific Coast League-leading 93 RBI, and his .322 average is good for 8th in the league. Kevin Howard (.295) had a double, a walk, and scored a run for the 51s.
In Mobile, Brian Schlitter recorded the last 5 outs of the game to notch his 14th save of the year for the Tennessee Smokies in their 5-2 win over the Bay Bears. In Altoona, Mike Dubee pitched a scoreless inning in Altoona's 2-1 win in the first game of a doubleheader against Binghamton. For Dubee, it was his 4th "hold" in 15 appearances covering 20.2 innings of work, since his promotion from Lynchburg. He is 1-0 with a 1.74 ERA and a save.
My apologies- I overlooked the promotion of Zack Segovia early this month from Harrisburg to Syracuse. Zack has been in 10 games at Syracuse, pitching 11 innings and giving up just 1 run on 8 hits. He has walked 3 and struck out 14, posting a 0.82 ERA. I also missed that Ron "Bear" Hill was released by the Marlins.
Speaking of the Marlins, they continue the transformation of Brett Harker to the rotation. Brett is getting stretched out and is going longer and getting results. He is 4-2 with a 2.73 for Jupiter in 19 appearances, 11 of those starts.
