The first thing I notice this morning is Michael Schwimer has been called up to the Phillies. Schwimer was selected by the Phillies in the 2008 draft, and was promoted from Williamsport directly to Clearwater in 2009, skipping Lakewood. This year, he is 9-1 with the IronPigs, with 10 saves and a stellar 1.88 ERA in 46 games for Lehigh Valley. Good luck, Michael!!
The Diamondbacks scored 2 in the 9th inning in Philadelphia last night to defeat Roy Halladay (15-5) and the Phillies, 3-2. Carlos Ruiz had a hit and a walk, and Ryan Howard had just a walk in 4 plate appearances. Chase Utley had 3 hits and Halladay had 2............In Atlanta, the Braves beat the Giants, 2-1 in 11 innings. Michael Bourn (.302) had 3 walks, and an RBI single for the Braves.............In Houston, Sergio Escalona (2.96) retired 2 of the 3 hitters he faced, allowing a single but no runs, and the Astros scored 4 in the bottom of the 9th inning to shock to Cubs, 6-5.........In a wild one in Chicago, the White Sox beat the Indians, 8-7 in 14 innings. Gavin Floyd was the starter for the Sox, and got hit around. Gavin went 5.2 innings and gave up 5 runs on 5 hits, walking 1 and striking out 9. Jason Doanld, who had his hand broken by Floyd in preseason to really set back his sophomore season, drove in 2 runs for the Indians.
In Allentown, Freddy Galvis (.320 since promotion) continues to impress, with a double and run scored in the Pigs' 5-3 win over Rochester. Andrew Carpenter (1.67) recorded his 7th hold, and Mike Zagurski got his 11th save, even though they each gave up a run.
In Reading, a second straight win looks to have gotten things back on the right track. The R-Phils beat Portland 7-4 with strong pitching from Tyler Cloyd and a 5-run 6th inning rally. Cloyd was very strong for 6 innings, yielding just 1 run on 4 hits and 2 walks, striking out 6 to improve to 4-3, 3.14 since joining Reading. If you add in his numbers from Clearwater, he has 7 wins, 3.02 ERA in 125 total innings. The big hit was a 2-out, 3-run home run by Tuffy Gosewisch, his 11th of the year. Tuffy now has 55 RBI and is having a quietly consistent year. Brent Clevlen hit his 3rd home run in 11 games since joining the team, and added 2 more hits to the cause. Clevlen was let go by the Reds earlier this year.
In Clearwater, the Threshers lost 4-2, to first place Dunedin. It was the 4th loss in a row for Clearwater, and like Reading and Lakewood, the Threshers face a lethal losing streak at the most critical time of the season. David Buchanan made his 3rd start since his promotion, and battled through a not-so-easy 5 innings. Buchanan allowed 4 runs on 6 hits and a walk, before turning it over to Colby Shreve. Colby threw 2 shut out innings, keeping Clearwater in the game. Jiwan James (.273) had 2 hits, including his 4th home run.
In Sacramento, Adrian Cardenas (.305) had 4 hits, scoring a run and driving in another as the River Cats beat Albuquerque, 7-3..............In Chattanooga, Quintin Berry (.293) had 2 more hits, 2 walks, and scored 2 runs as the Mudcats edged the Lookouts. 9-8. It was the 3rd straight 2-hit game for "Q", and he is 11 for 30 (.367) during his current 7-game hitting streak...........In Oklahoma City, Jay Happ started for the RedHawks, and his control problems persist. Jay went 5 innings against Reno, allowing 4 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits and 3 walks, striking out 5, and receiving no decision in the RedHawks' 5-4 come from behind win..............In Pearl, Mississippi, Darren Byrd threw 3 scoreless innings for Huntsville in the Stars' 5-4 loss to the Braves. Byrd (3.14) gave up 2 hits and 4 walks, and let 1 of 2 inherited runners score before settling in.
