Gavin Floyd and J.A Happ both recorded victories Wednesday night. Happ pitched his 2nd complete game shut out of the season, striking out 10 Rockies and allowing just 4 hits and 2 walks in his 127 pitch masterpiece to improve to 8-2 on the year. Floyd picked up his 9th win, giving up just 1 earned run in 8 innings while yielding only 6 hits and a walk in the Sox 6-2 win over the Angels.
Meanwhile, Anthony Gose has set the single season stolen base record in Lakewood, swiping 2 bases Tuesday to eclipse Chris Roberson's 6-year old mark, and then stealing 2 more on Wednesday to now stand at 62 and counting. B.J. Rosenberg threw 2 more scoreless frames Wednesday, and is now up to 28.2 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run. The BlueClaws, while not really playing badly, have fallen into their worst stretch of the year, dropping 5 of 7 to fall to 20-19 in the second half. They have just been unable to get the big hit when needed this week.
In Dunedin, Darren Byrd won his 4th straight start, topping the Blue Jays, 5-1. Now 5-3 on the year, Byrd has allowed just 1 earned run in his last 25 innings. 3 hits from Cody Overbeck lad the offensive attack for the Threshers.
Pedro Martinez made another rehab start in Reading, going 6 innings as the R-Phils beat Trenton, 8-4. Scott Mathieson (2 IP) and Sergio Escalona (1 IP) pitched scoreless relief. Tim Kennelly had 3 hits for Reading and Dominic Brown (double, 1st AA homer) and Quintin Berry added 2 hits each. Reading improves to 61-48 on the year and remains in position to make the playoffs, leading Erie by 1 game.
Andy Baldwin pitched a complete game, 6-hit shut out, blanking Round Rock in Tacoma's 8-0 win to improve to 6-7 on the year.
Randy Ruiz was 0 for 3 Wednesday in Omaha, but has hit 2 more homers this week and is up to .322 with 25 dingers and 101 RBI for Las Vegas.
