Oh, the pitching!!

Some very good pitching by former BlueClaws Saturday, but we must start in the nation's capital where Carlos Monasterios registered his first major league win in the Dodger's 13-inning win over the Nationals. "Monte" entered the game in the 11th, threw 2.2 scoreless innings of relief and was rewarded with the victory when the Dodgers tallied in the 13th. Carlos allowed just 2 hits, NO walks and struck out 2. It was the 6th appearances for Monasterios; in all he has worked 8.2 innings, surrendering just 2 earned runs on 9 hits and 3 walks, and 4 Ks, posting an impressive 2.08 ERA!

In Toledo, Carlos Carrasco was also sharp. Carrasco recorded a win, throwing 7 strong innings against the Mud Hens in the Clipper's 7-1 win. Carlos allowed 1 run on 6 hits and just 1 walk, striking out 4 and lowering his ERA to a very respectable 2.59. Jason Donald (.306) had an RBI double in the game. In Binghamton, Kyle Drabek won his 3rd game of the year as New Hampshire topped the Mets, 5-1. Drabek pitched for 5.2 innings, allowing only 2 hits and 3 walks, striking out 7, and is now 3-1, 3.80 on the year for the Toronto affiliate.

In Reading, the combination of Vance Worley (6 IP, 1 earned run, 8 Ks), Mike Stutes (2 IP, 1 hit, WIN) and Sergio Escalona (1-2-3 9th, save #3) led the R-Phils to a 3-2 win over Richmond, while in Dunedin, Austin Hyatt (3-1, 1.99; 6 IP, 1 run on 2 hits and 3 walks, 7Ks), Tyson Brummett (2 IP 1 run on 1 hit) and Chris Kissock (1-2-3 9th) helped the Threshers to a 9-2 win over the Jays. D'Arby Myers and Troy Hanzawa had 2 hits each for Clearwater.

In Houston, Jason Jaramillo (.286) smacked his first home run of the season for the Pirates, but the Astros won for the 7th time in the last 8 games, 5-2. Michael Bourn (.321) had a hit and a walk and scored a run for Houston.
