Thursday's comings and goings

First order of business is: Scott Mathieson's recall Thursday back to the Phillies.


In Durham, the IronPigs defeated the Bulls, 5-3. Domonic Brown (.333) had a hit and a walk, and Freddy Galvis (2 for 8 since promotion)tripled in a run, and then scored in the Pigs' 5-run 4th inning. Justin DeFratus gave up a run on 3 hits in his inning, but did strike out 2, and Mike Schwimer (1.73) picked up his 10th save with a perfect 9th (2 Ks). Lehigh Valley is now 64-49 and leads Pawtucket by 1.5 games and Scranton by 4. Scranton lost at home to Louisville, 3-2. Matt Maloney (3.80) started for Louisville and went 6 good innings, giving up just 2 runs on 4 hits, NO walks and 5 strike outs for a no decision. Greg Golson (.274) took an 0 for 4 for the Yanks. Golson is mire in a 6 for 33 (.182) slump the last 9 games.

In Indianapolis, the Indians beat Toledo, 4-3. Jason Jaramillo (.280) was 1 for 3 for Indianapolis..........In Charlotte, Yohan Flande (7-6) started for Gwinnett and went 5 innings, charged with 3 runs on 8 hits, 1 walk and 4 Ks, and took the loss in the Knights 6-2 over the Braves..........In Colorado Springs, in the second game of a doubleheader, Zack Segovia (3.61) threw 2 innings for Nashville, allowing a run on 3 hits and 1 walk in the SkySox'9-6 win over the Sounds...........In Omaha, Michael Taylor (.294) had 2 hits for Sacramento in the River Cats' 4-3 win over the Storm Chasers.

In San Antonio, Josh Zeid's adjustment to the Texas League continues. Josh came on for the Hooks and gave up 2 UNearned runs, but did allow 3 hits and a walk in his inning of the Mission's 6-1 victory. New league, new ballparks, new hitters, it takes time to adjust. Jonathan Villar (.232) had a single and a double and scored the Hooks' run.

Cyle Hankerd homered for the second time in as many games as a Thresher, Brandon Tripp went deep twice, (3 in the last 2 games) and Sebastian Valle (.308) hit his 5th home run and drove in 3 runs as Clearwater beat Tampa, 8-4. Darin Ruf (.315) had 2 doubles, 2 walks, scored 2 runs and drove in #68. Trevor May (3.40) struck out 10 in his 5 innings, but the win went to Juan Sosa, his first since joining the Threshers. Eric Pettis got 4 straight outs and picked up his 6th hold. The result of this game leaves the Threshers, the Yankees, and the Blue Jays all tied atop the division at 21-19. The Daytona Cubs, the first half winners, are 1 game back. Buckle up in the sunshine state, it gonna be a hot August!!
