Rosenberg keeps it going; 64 and counting for Gose

Here is a summary of Friday's noteworthy performances

In Kansas City, Robinson Tejeda pitched 3.2 innings for the Royals in their 9-4 loss to the Athletics. Tejeda threw 51 pitches, 35 for strikes, allowing just 1 run on 2 hits, NO walks, striking out 4.

In Sacramento, Greg Golson had 2 hits and an RBI in Oklahoma City's 12 inning, 4-3 loss to the River Cats. Adrian Cardenas, struggling since his promotion, had a single and 2 walks for Sacramento. O yeah, Randy Ruiz had 3 more RBI, that's 105, as the 51s beat the Royals, 6-3. Hello, Toronto, is anyone paying attention up there!!?

In Binghamton, Reading topped the Mets 7-1 behind Yohan Flande. Yohan went 6 innings, giving up just 1 run on 5 hits and 2 walks, striking out 8 to improve to 2-2 with Reading (9-3 overall). B.J. Rosenberg made his debut, and it was "same old story" for "Rosie", 2 scoreless, hitless innings, 1 walk, 1 strike out. 30.2 innings without an earned run allowed and still counting!! Scott Mathieson threw the 9th, walking 2, but no runs allowed. Mathieson, out for almost 2 years, has been very impressive in his comeback this season.

Quintin Berry (.280) had a walk, a triple and his 4th homer of the year, driving in 3 runs and scoring 2, and Dominic Brown (.318 since his promotion) added 2 hits, 2 runs scored and an RBI.

Clearwater's game against Dunedin was suspended by rain in the 3rd inning, with the Threshers ahead, 1-0 on a Derrick Mitchell home run.

The BlueClaws dropped an 8-4 decision to Lake County in a game in which their only RBI came when Korby Mintkin was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Lake County errors accounted for the the other scoring. Moose Mattair, Troy Hanzawa and Kyle Lafrenz had 2 hit each and Anthony Gose had a hit and a walk, another outfield assist, and stole #64!!
