On Thursday in Louisville, Matt Maloney won his 2nd consecutive start in the Bat's 4-2 win over Indianapolis. Maloney went 6, giving up just 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks, striking out 7 to go to 2-0, 2.31. Back on Tuesday, Carlos Carrasco went 6.2 innings against Louisville, allowing 3 runs (only 1 earned) on 4 hits and 5 walks. The Bats won the game 4-3 in 10 innings. Also on Tuesday, in Toronto Gavin Floyd had the misfortune of matching up with Ricky Romero of the Jays. Romero allowed just 1 hit in 8 innings and bested Floyd and the Sox 4-2. Gavin went 6, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits and 2 walks, losing his first decision of the year. On Wednesday night, Domonic Brown had 2 hits to lead Reading over former teammate Kyle Drabek and the R-Phils rallied for 4 in the bottom of the 6th for a 7-3 win over New Hampshire.
Jason Donald has had a good opening week, and is hitting .357 for Columbus in 7 games so far, but hottest of all is Travis d'Arnaud. Travis is off to a 15 for 35 start (that's .429) with 2 doubles, 3 homers and 8 RBI in just 8 games so far.
In another interesting note, Domonic Brown left the Reading game in Richmond last night after only 1 at bat. I am looking around for the reason. In that game , Reading wasted a second consecutive great performance from Yohan Flande. Flande has pitched twice now, a total of 12 innings and has allowed NO earned runs. He did absorb the loss yesterday, as the Flying Squirrels (with a logo that looks like "Rocky, the flying squirrel" from the old cartoons!) scored 2 UNearned runs to edge Reading, 2-1.
In Clearwtaer last night, Joel Naughton had 3 hit including a double and 2 RBI, and Steve Susdorf belted a home run, driving in 3 runs as the Threshers beat Lakeland, 10-4. The victory went to J.C. Ramirez, who came over to the Phillies in the Cliff Lee deal. D'Arby Myers had a hit and 2 stolen bases and Anthony Gose drove in 2 runs and nailed a runner at home to prevent another run.
