In Toronto, Randy Ruiz hit his 3rd home run for the Blue Jays, a majestic blast into right center field off Josh Beckett, in the Blue Jays' 10-9 loss to the Red Sox. Randy is hitting .320 in 6 games with Toronto.
Another Ruiz, Carlos had a big game for the Phillies. Carlos was 3 for 3, including his 6th home run, and added a walk in a perfect night at the plate as the Phillies beat Arizona, 5-1.
In Louisville, Matt Maloney pitched a good game for the Bats in their 10-2 win over Indianapolis. Matt went 6 strong innings, allowing just 1 run on 5 hits, NO walks, striking out 7 to improve to 9-8, 2.96 for the season for Louisville. With the Reds just about out of the wild card race, I look for them to recall Matt when the rosters expand September 1st.
In Toledo, Jesus Merchan had 2 hits, scored a run and drove in another, but the Clippers lost to the Mud Hens, 8-7. In Scranton, Joe Savery suffered his first AAA loss, as the Yankees got 6 runs on 10 hits off Joe in 6 innings of work. Joe Bisenius came in the game for the 7th inning and was lit up to the tune of 4 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks, while only managing to get 1 out. "Bis" has made 3 appearances since returning to Lehigh Valley, and is clearly rusty. Scranton won the game 10-5 over the IronPigs. In Nashville, Adrian Cardenas had 3 hits and a walk, and scored a run for Sacramento, in the River Cat's wild 11-9 win over the Sounds. Adrian, who will be 22 in October, could also be a candidate for a September call-up with the Athletics looking to the future.
In Las Vegas, Kevin Howard homered for the 2nd straight day (his 12th), one of his 2 hits on the day, but the 51s lost to Round Rock, 5-4.
In Portland, Quintin Berry (.282) had 3 hits and scored a run, but the Sea Dogs knocked Vance Worley around for a 9-4 win over Reading. Worley allowed 6 runs on 8 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings, and fell to 7-10, 5.16 for the year. Chance Chapman went 2 clean innings, and Scott Mathieson threw the 8th, allowing 3 UNearned runs when Daniel Nava took him deep. Reading (65-56) is 1 game ahead of Erie, and 2 in front of Bowie in the race for the final playoff spot in the division.
In Clearwater, Tyler Cloyd recorded his 4th win for the Threshers (and 11th overall) as Clearwater defeated Lakeland, 4-1. Cloyd went 6 innings, allowing just 1 run on 5 hits and 2 walks, picking up 5 Ks. Carlos Monastreios gave up just 1 hit in 2 innings, notching his 7th "hold" and Mike Schwimer posted his 18th save with a scoreless 9th. Cody Overbeck had the only multi hit game for the Threshers and Javis Diaz stole his 28th base.
