Riz, J-Rod & Maloney

In Akron, Matt Rizzotti hit 2 home runs (22 & 23), and Steve Singleton had 3 hits and 2 RBI as the Reading Phillies beat the Aeros, 7-1. Austin Hyatt (12-6, 3.77) was the winning pitcher, throwing 6 good innings and allowing just 1 run on 7 hits, striking out 8. Jacob Diekman, B.J. Rosenberg and Justin Friend threw a scoreless frame each. In Trenton, Kevin Howard had 2 hits and 2 RBI, and Anthony Gose had a hit and stole his 66th base of the year as the New Hampshire Fisher Cats edged the Thunder, 3-2...............In Allentown, the Scranton Yanks outlasted the IronPigs, 4-1 in 14 innings. Greg Golson (.263) had a hit and a walk and stole his 14th base for Scranton. Freddy Galvis (.324) had 3 more hits for Lehigh Valley. (He could certainly be a September call-up after the playoffs are over.) Justin DeFratus struck out 4 hitters in 2 innings but gave up the tying run in the 9th inning and Mike Zagurski threw 3 scoreless frames (1 hit, 1 walk, 4 Ks).


The Threshers wasted another prime performance by Julio Rodriguez Tuesday, losing to the Manatees, 1-0. Julio (16-7, 2.73) allowed just 1 hit and 2 walks, striking out 10 in his 6 shut out innings. The Threshers (34-29) are 1 game behind Dunedin and just a half-game ahead of Tampa.


In Louisville, Matt Maloney was awesome, throwing 8 solid innings against Columbus and giving up just 1 run on 2 hits and 1 walk, to improve to 7-1, 2.99 for the Bats.............In Corpus Christi, Jarred Cosart got his first win for the Hooks, with 5 very good innings against Frisco. Cosart allowed just 1 run on 4 hits and 2 walks, striking out 5 as the Hooks beat the RoughRiders, 7-1. Jarred has made 6 starts for the Astros affiliate, and has given up just 10 runs in 32.1 innings of work for a 2.78 ERA since his trade and promotion. Jonathan Villar had a walk and scored a run in the game for Corpus Christi..............In Jackson, Jesus Sanchez picked up a win in relief for Huntsville. Jesus (4-7) entered the game in the 5th inning and began by stranding that runner. In all, he pitched 3.2 innings, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits and 1 walk, both run scoring on solo home runs. The Stars scored 4 in the 8th to top the Generals, 6-3................In Montgomery, Quintin Berry (.297) had a hit and 2 walks, and scored a run for the Mudcats in Carolina's 7-3 win over the Biscuits............In Indianapolis, Jason Jaramillo (.276) had 2 hits and a walk, and scored a run for the Indians in their 12-inning, 5-4 win over Toledo............In Omaha, Round Rock defeated the Storm Chasers, 3-2. Robinson Tejeda pitched 2.2 innings for Omaha, giving up 1 run.
