Even my presence at Coca Cola Park was not enough to get the IronPigs out of their losing streak, as Gwinnett let Lehigh Valley get out to a 3-0 lead, only to come back to take a 4-3 decision. Pablo Ozuna had 2 doubles, a single, and 2 RBI, and Lou Marson and Jason Donald had a hit each.
Despite giving up the 3 runs in the third inning, Gwinnett starter Charlie Morton seemed to be in control all night. He stretched 102 pitches to 7.2 innings to record his 5th win of the year.
I did manage to spend five minutes with one of my favorite guys, Carlos Carrasco, who was charting the game practically right next to me. He looks like he has put on some more muscle, and it occurs to me that when your body changes like that, sometimes it takes a while to adjust to it. I have to go back and see him pitch firsthand.
The BlueClaws got home runs from Jeremy Hamilton and Sebastian Valle, and superior pitching from Tyler Cloyd to pound West Virginia, 9-2. For both Hamilton and Valle, the homers were the 1st of the year, and Valle added on a single and a walk. Troy Hanzawa and Harold Garcia each picked up 2 doubles, with Harold scoring 2 runs and Troy driving 2 in. Anthony Gose had a triple, his 23rd stolen base, scored a run and drove 1 in. Meanwhile, Cloyd threw 7 innings, giving up just 1 run, 7 hits, NO walks, striking out 8, to improve to 4-2, 3.00 on the season.
Clearwater's game was rained out.
