Sunday's best

In Atlanta, Michael Bourn (.304) had 3 hits, a walk, scored a run, drove in 2, and stole 2 more bases (increasing his major league leading total to 45), but the Braves lost to the Cubs, 6-5.

In Altoona, it took 12 innings, but Reading ended the losing streak with a 5-4 win over the Curve. Matt Rizzotti (.284) had 3 hits, including 2 doubles, and a walk, and Mike Spidale (.314) added 2 more hits to lead the attack. Austin Hyatt was the starter, and gave the R-Phils 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits and 1 walk, striking out 7 along the way. BJ Rosenberg threw 2 scoreless innings (1 hit, 1 K) and Mike Cisco (7-0, 1.88) picked up the win with 1.2 shut out frames. Mike Dubee (2-4, 2.05) was the loser, allowing an UNearned run in the 12th after throwing 2 scoreless inning prior to that, striking out 4 on the way.

In Allentown, Cody Overbeck hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the IronPigs a 2-1 win over Toledo in the first game of a doubleheader. Freddy Galvis (.300 since promotion) had 2 more hits, stole 2 bases and scored a run for Lehigh Valley. Good pitching from everyone; Scott Mathieson (2.56, 4 IP, 1 hit, 3 walks, 4 Ks), Joe Savery (2.51, 2 IP, 1 hit, 4 Ks), Mike Zagurski (2.51, 1 IP, 2 Ks) and Mike Schwimer (9-1, 1.88, 2 IP , 1 run, 3 hits, 2 walks, 3Ks). The second game was suspended in the 3rd inning due to rain.

In Louisville, Matt Maloney pitched another fine game, throwing 7 innings for the Bats and giving up just 1 run, scattering 7 hits and a walk, striking out 3 and getting no decision in Louisville's 2-1 win over Indianapolis. That make 3 pretty good starts in a row for Maloney (4-1, 3.43), who should return to the Reds in September............In Zebulon, Quintin Berry (.286) had 2 hits, including his 6th home run, scored 2 runs and drove in 2, as the Mudcats beat Montgomery, 6-2.........In Lancaster, Jonathan Singleton continues to impress his new team, getting 2 more hits for the JetHawks in their 7-5 loss to San Jose. Singleton is hitting .339 in 14 games since the trade, and .293 overall..........In Springfield, the Cardinals scored 2 in the 9th to tie the game, only to see Corpus Christi scored 2 in the 10th to win it, 5-3. Jonathan Villar (.230) did not start, but entered the game later, and had 2 walks, and scored the winning run in the 10th............In Gwinnett, the Pawtucket Red Sox beat Yohan Flande, 5-0. Flande (7-7, 3.99) went 5 innings and allowed 5 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks (not his best day) for the Braves...........In Nashville, Kyle Drabek and the 51s beat the Sounds, 8-6. Kyle (3-2, 6.55) went the first 5.1 innings, and gave up 5 runs (all in the 1st inning) , 4 earned on 11 hits and just 1 walk. Bobby Korecky (0.96) relieved him in the 6th, and recorded 4 outs without allowing a hit, to notch his second hold for the 51s.
