The Phillies made a number of moves Friday, among them placing Shane Victorino on the DL and recalling Domonic Brown. They also optioned Scott Mathieson back to Lehigh Valley.
Mathieson pitched 2 scoreless innings last night, but had not been used for 11 days, and will get more work with the IronPigs. Kyle Kendrick made the emergency start when Joe Blanton could not go. (Maybe Blanton had Giambi nightmares.) Anyway, Kendrick started instead and gave up 2 of Jason Giambi's 3 home runs and was charged with 5 runs. Some good news is Mike Stutes appears to be OK after pulling something in his right side, and pitched a scoreless inning- with 2 Ks to prove it. Ryan Howard was 0 for 4, and is 0 for his last 20, hitless since the 13th, as the Rockies won, 7-1.
Earlier in the day in St. Louis, Jay Happ pitched well, but not well enough for a win, as the Cardinals beat Happ and the Astros, 4-2. Jay went 6 innings, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits and 3 walks, and striking out 8. He is now 3-5, 5.30 for Houston this year.
Gavin Floyd got a win for the HomeSide (#26) and salvaged the day with an impressive 7 inning performance in the White Sox' 8-2 win over the Indians. Floyd allowed just 1 run on 5 hits and 1 walk, striking out 3 to win his 5th game of the season.
After a couple of good starts for Louisville, Matt Maloney had an off night Thursday in Durham. Matt survived through 6 innings, allowing 8 runs (7 earned) on 10 hits and 2 walks as the Bulls beat the Bats, 12-6.................In Gwinnett, Yohan Flande (2-0) started and went 5 innings for the Braves, scattering 9 hits and 2 walks, giving up just 3 runs and picking up the victory in the Braves' 7-3 win over Rochester............In Akron, the Aeros and the Curve split a doubleheader with Altoona winning the nightcap, 2-1. Mike Dubee recorded the final 4 outs for Altoona, and picked up his second save.......In Manchester, Anthony Gose had a hit and 2 walks, stole 2 bases and scored 2 runs for New Hampshire in the Fisher Cats' 7-2 win over Binghamton.
In Clearwater, Jiwan James lead off the 1st inning with a double, and that was the only hit the Threshers got all night, losing 4-0 to the Stone Crabs. Charlotte's Kyle Lobstein was great, going 7 innings and walking 3 and striking out 9. Julio Rodriguez lost his 2nd decision, but pitched well enough. J-Rod went 7, giving up 3 runs on 7 hits, NO walks, and Ebelin Lugo went the final 2. The Threshers are 25-16, 4 games behind Daytona.
In Salisbury, Garrett Claypool pitched very well for the second time in a row, this time going 6 shut out innings, allowing just 4 hits and 2 walks, striking out 7 to notch his first win of the year in Lakewood's 7-1 win over the Shorebirds. Anthony Hewitt and Miguel Alvarez had 3 hits and 3 RBI each to lead the offense. Hewitt, in particular, is hitting everything hard right now! Jim Murphy added 2 hits and his team leading 25th RBI. Murphy drove in 67 runs in 2009, so 25 more ties him for the all-time RBI lead with Ryan Howard (92).
