In Midland, Texas Saturday night, Josh Outman made his 3rd start for the Rock Hounds and it was his best showing so far for his new team. Josh threw 53 pitches, 33 for strikes, and continued to stretch out his arm, giving up just 1 run on 4 hits and NO walks in the Hound's 7-3 win in the first game of a doubleheader against Corpus Cristi. Outman, who had been pitching in relief for Reading, is slowly building back up to where he can be an effective starter for the A's affiliate.
Meanwhile, in Erie, the R-Phils took a 9-0 beating at the hands of the Sea Wolves. Edgar Garcia (0-4 since his promotion) threw 6.1 innings, giving up 4 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks. Sergio Escolana gave up a run on 4 hits in less than an inning, and Pat Overholt, who has seemed totally out of sync lately, surrendered 4 unearned runs on 2 hits and 2 walks in just 1 frame.
Reading managed just 5 hits, 2 each for Greg Golson (.288) and Jeremy Slayden (.299).
