here and there....

In Oklahoma City, Greg Golson (.262) was 0 for 3, with a walk, but drove in 2 runs to help the RedHawks defeat New Orleans, 9-4. Greg has hit his worst slump of the season, and is 5 for his last 35.

Since pitching a complete game shutout back on August 5, Andy Baldwin's stuggles have left him in Tacoma's bullpen. Andy threw 2 innings in relief last night, allowing 1 run on 4 hits in the Rainier's 5-3 loss to Salt Lake City. In 5 relief appearances, covering 6.2 innings, Andy has just 2 runs on 8 hits, NO walks, with 6 Ks. For the season, Baldwin is 6-10 with a 4.50 ERA in the hitter friendly PCL. The Mariners have yet to expand their roster for September, but I am watching the transaction wire.

In Las Vegas, Kevin Howard was 4 for 4 and a walk, including 2 doubles, and 3 runs scored as the 51s edged the Fresno Grizzlies, 9-8. Kevin has upped his average to .314 for the Toronto affiliate and could also get the call with the Blue Jays out of the hunt.

In Reno, the Sacramento River Cats were all over the Aces, 17-6. Adrian Cardenas had 2 doubles and scored a run for Sacramento, while Chris Roberson had a hit and a walk for Reno.

After a good start for the Jacksonville Suns, Brett Harker had a nightmare last Wednesday. Brett came into a game against Mobile in the 7th inning, and faced 6 hitters, all of whom reached base (3 hits, 3 walks), and scored!! E-Gads!! He has since returned to Jupiter. Hang in there, Brett.
