Joe Savery's fine season continues on Saturday, as Reading beat the Connecticut Defenders, 7-5. Savery, now 11-1, 3.34 went 7 innings, and received enough offense to allow 5 runs on 10 hits and 2 walks and still pick up the win. Joe is a prime candidate to start the All-Star game a week from Tuesday in Trenton. Chance Chapman threw a scoreless 8th and Tyson Brummett, now in the pen, tossed a clean 9th to record his first save.
Quintin Berry had a hit and 2 walks, driving in a run, Jermey Slayden (.378) had a walk and a hit and drove in 2, and Michael Taylor (.343, can you say MVP) had another hit and knocked in his 61st run of the season. Reading is now 47-33 for the season. Yohan Flande will start this afternoon for the R-Phils.
In Dunedin, Tyler Cloyd made his 2nd start for the Threshers, and took the loss in an 8-1 Blue Jays win. Tyler, who won 7 games for Lakewood in the first half, went 5.2 inning and gave up 5 runs, only 2 of which were earned, on 8 hits and 3 walks in a game in which the Threshers got just 3 hits. Steve Susdorf, Tim Kennelly ( double) and Jesus Villegas got the hits for Clearwater.
Drew Naylor (5-6) will go tonight against Lakeland.
In State College, the Crosscutters dropped a 5-4 decision to the Spikes. Jeremy Barnes (.355), Sebastian Valle (.385) and Adam Buschini all had 2 hits for Williamsport. Siulman Lebron (3.65 ERA)went 7 strong innings for the Cutters, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits and 1 walk, striking out 4, and Esmelvin Jimenez took the loss, allowing the game winning home run to outfielder Evan Chambers of the Spikes in his 1 inning of work.
In Kansas City, Gavin Floyd took his turn for the White Sox Saturday and lasted just 5.1 innings against the Royals. Gavin allowed 5 runs on 4 hits and 3 walks, to absorb the loss and fall to 6-6 on the year, as Kansas City won, 6-4.
