Phillies starter Joe Blanton pitched 2 innings in Lakewood last night, retiring all 6 hitters he faced using just 13 total pitches, and the Lakewood BlueClaws got their first walk-off win of 2010 when Jonathan Villar's infield single scored Adam Buschini with the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning. Villar is leading the team with a .356 average. Anthony Hewitt is hot on his trail, rapping out 3 hits yesterday to move up to .354. Jeremy Barnes and Leandro Castro had 2 hits apiece and Lakewood improved to 8-5 on the year. The pitching was good; after Blanton, Chad Poe threw a 1-2-3 3rd inning before giving the ball to the scheduled starter, Matthew Way. Way battled through 6 innings, in and out of trouble, giving up 3 runs, but only 1 earned, on 6 hits and walk, striking out 5 in the process. Justin Zeid came on for the the 10th and 11th, and his 2 scoreless innings were rewarded with the victory.
Both Clearwater and Reading were shut out yesterday. For the Threshers, Korby Mintkin was the only one to reach base, popping their only 2 hits and a working a walk. For the R-Phils, Freddy Galvis had 3 of their 5 total hits. Trevor May and Mike Cisco were the victims of non-support.
In Norfolk, Alfredo Simon made his 3rd rehab start for the Tides and continued his impressive comeback from surgery. Simon went 7 inning against Gwinnett, allowing just 2 runs, only 1 earned, on 6 hits and 3 walks. He struck out 5 and although he lost the 2-1 decision, in 3 starts he has pitched 16 innings, posting a 1.69 ERA.
