De Fratus is #39

Sunday night Justin De Fratus became the 39th former BlueClaw to play in a major league game. Justin threw a scoreless 9th inning in the Phillies' 5-0 loss to St Louis. Cole Hamels (14-9, 2.90) was the starter and victim of the non-support. Cole went 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, NO walks, striking out 9.

Matt Maloney was moved up to Sunday when Dontrelle Willis was unable to make his start, and Matt was pounded by Milwaukee to the tune of 7 runs (6 earned) on 9 hits in just 1.2 innings. As good as Maloney has been in AAA, he has still not gotten over the hump at the major league level. Similarly, in Baltimore, Alfredo Simon (4-9) also took his lumps, giving up 6 runs on 8 hits and a walk to the Angels in the Los Angeles' 11-2 win over the Orioles.........In Atlanta, Michael Bourn (.299) had 2 hits, scored 2 runs and drove in another, but the Mets beat the Braves, 7-5.......In Minnesota, Lou Marson's good September continued, Lou getting 2 more hits and scoring a run for the Indians in Cleveland's 6-5 win over the Twins.
