After nearly a 2-hour rain delay, the big series between the Braves and the Phillies got underway last night and it was worth the wait, with the Phillies taking a 3-2, 10-inning win on Raul Ibanez' walk off homer. Carlos Ruiz had 2 hits (including his 4th home run) and 2 walks, and was also hit by a pitch, reaching base in all 5 at bats. Domonic Brown added 2 hits, raising his steadily improving average to .246. Dom looks more and more comfortable everyday, and appears to have finally relaxed enough to let his talent take over. Ryan Howard added a hit to the Phillie's attack, and the kids, Mike Stutes (2.45) and Antonio Bastardo (0.84) each threw another shut out inning.
In Cleveland, the Blue Jays beat the Indians, 11-7. Lou Marson had 2 hits and a sacrifice, and scored 2 runs for the Tribe.........In Miami, Michael Bourn (.289) added 2 more hits and scored a run for the Astros, but the Marlins took a 6-3 decision. Michael led off the game with his 22nd infield hit, tops in the majors. Sergio Escalona (2.76) threw another scoreless inning for Houston.........In Chicago, Gavin Floyd could not hang onto a 5-1 lead after the first inning, giving up 7 runs on 9 hits and 3 walks in only 3.2 innings of work, as the Twins beat the Sox, 8-5. Gavin falls to 6-9, 4.59 on the year and is in a bad stretch, winless since June 1 covering his last 6 starts.
In Rochester, the IronPigs beat HomeSider Andy Baldwin and the Red Wings, 9-5. Baldwin lasted 5.1 innings and gave up 6 runs on 8 hits and 3 walks, falling to 4-7, 5.55 on the year for the Minnesota affiliate. Justin DeFratus tossed an inning for Lehigh Valley, and gave up an UNearned run, and Mike Schwimer threw 2 more perfect Frames, lowering his ERA to 1.78.........In Columbus, Jason Donald had 2 hits, including his 3rd home run, driving in 2 runs in the Clipper's 8-6 loss to Toledo...............In Oklahoma City, Robinson Tejeda blew his first save in the 9th inning, then gave up the winning run in the 10th, as the Red Hawks beat Omaha, 4-3............In Las Vegas, the Sacramento River Cats pounded the 51s, 11-4. Michael Taylor had a hit and 2 RBI for Sacramento, and Kevin Howard (.329) had 2 hits and drove in a run for Vegas..........In Kodak, Will Savage allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in the first inning last night, and came out of the game for Chattanooga. The game was suspended after 9 innings, tied at 4-4. ...........In Manchester, Antony Gose had double, a walk, and stole his 41st base of the year, and Travis d'Arnaud had a hit and an RBI for New Hampshire, but the Fisher Cats dropped an 8-3 game to Portland.
In Reading, Tyler Cloyd (3-1) pitched the R-Phils to a 6-1 win over Trenton. Tyler allowed just 1 run on 7 hits, NO walks, over 6 innings, and Josh Zeid went 2 scoreless frames, striking out 3. Mike Spidale, Matt Rizzotti, Steve Susdorf, Derrick Mitchell and Tuffy Gosewisch all had 2 hits for Reading.
