In Washington, the Phillies swept a doubleheader from the Nats, 8-5 and 7-5. Andrew Carpenter started the rain shortened nightcap and picked up the first major league win of his career! Raul Ibanez had a big day, belting 3 home runs and driving in 7 in the 2 games. Ryan Howard was 3 for 7 (and a walk) on the day, hitting his 8th home run, a loooong one into center field in the 3rd inning off Daniel Cabrera. Ibanez now has 35 RBI, Ryan is up to 28 as the Phillies pull to within a game and a half of the surging Mets.
The Gwinnett Braves defeated Kyle Kendrick and the IronPigs Saturday, 4-1. Kyle last 5 inning, throwing 85 pitches, giving up 4 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks to see his record fall to 2-3, 4.17 on the year. The last 2 outings have been rough for Kendrick, 10 earned runs, 13 hits in just 10 innings! In Norfolk, Matt Maloney lost a heart breaker, 1-0 to the Tides. Matt had another great game, throwing 7 innings, allowing just the 1 run on 6 hits, 1 walk, striking out 5. Maloney is now 3-2, 2.64 in his 7 starts this season for Louisville.
Greg Golson's call up to the Rangers may have hurt his timing, as he is just 3 for 18 since he got back in the line up for Oklahoma City. This will happen sometimes when guys are called up to fill a roster spot and don't get to play in the major league games. Greg is too good a hitter for this to last long, I will be keeping my eye on it,
In Sacramento, Adrian Cardenas had a double, 2 walks, and scored 2 runs in the River Cats 8-3 win over Round Rock. Gio Gonzalez was the starter and winner for Sacramento, going 5.2 innings, and giving up just 1 run on 7 hits and 2 walks to notch his 3rd victory for the Cats.
Kevin Howard has been picked up by Toronto and will be assigned to LasVegas, where he will be a teammate of Randy Ruiz. Howard made his debut for Vegas last night, going 1 for 3.
