With Clay Condrey being placed on the 15-day DL, the Phillies have brought up Kyle Kendrick to take his place on the roster. Drew Carpenter has been sent back to the IronPigs with reliever Steven Register getting the call-up. Also Alex Concepcion has been promoted to Lehigh Valley and Sergio Escalona has been reassigned to Reading.
The IronPigs scored 3 in the 10th on Saturday to take an 8-5 win over the Braves in Gwinnett. Concepcion made his AAA debut as Lehigh had a "bullpen" game. Alex came into the game in the 4th inning and went 3 frames, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits and a walk, striking out 3. Pat Overholt followed, throwing a scoreless inning, striking out 2 in the process.
As for Reading, in a game mercifully shortened by lightning, the BaySox pounded Vance Worley for 9 runs in 3.1 innings en route to a 12-2 win. Newly acquired Tristan Crawford came next, and gave up 3 runs on 4 hits in just 2.1 innings, before Escalona came on for the last out before the weather ended the game. The R-Phils got just 4 hits, one was a double by Brad Harman.
The Threshers did get 6 hits, but wasted a great effort from Jon Velasquez, losing to Port Charlotte, 2-1. Jon went 6 innings, and gave up just 2 UNearned runs on 5 hits and 1 walk, and although he fell to 1-3 with Clearwater, his ERA is a sparkling 2.08. Chris Kissock threw the final 2 innings, retiring all 6 hitters he faced, 4 by K.
The BlueClaws lost the finale of their series in Asheville, 9-3 as the Tourists avoided the sweep. Heitor Correa (7-4) struggled some, but was the victim of some bad defense, also. Correa went 6, and gave up 9 hits and 3 walks (too many base runners) and was charged with 6 run, only 3 of which were earned. The offense managed just 6 hits, 2 by Troy Hanzawa, and Lakewood will try to right the ship in Greenville this afternoon. The Anthony Gose stolen base watch remains at 56.
The Crosscutters complete the offensively inept day in the system, losing 4-0 to Mahoning Valley. Leandro Castro (.300) had 2 of the 7 Williamsport hits. Matthew Way took the loss, in his first less-than-impressive game giving up 4 runs (3 earned)on 9 hits and 3 walks in just 5 IP. Way is now 2-2, 1.71 for the season.
In Oklahoma City, Greg Golson had an RBI triple and scored a run in his only at bat, as the Nashville Sounds defeated the RedHawks, 8-5. R.J. Swindel (3-1, 1.03) was the winning pitcher despite blowing his 4th save of the season. In San Antonio, Matt Spencer (.296) had 3 doubles, including the game winner, and 2 RBI as the Midland Rock Hounds beat the Missions, 5-4 in 11 innings. Adrian Cardenas (.346) had 1 for 6 for Midland.
I will be away from the computer today, attending the Gold Cup Final at Giants Stadium between USA and Mexico.
