Kyle Drabek won his 3rd game of the season Monday, showing some grit and determination. Drabek allowed a lead-off single and after 2 walks loaded the bases before he recorded an out, he went to work. A sac fly and a double play minimized the damage and from there he went a total of 7 innings, throwing 113 pitches and giving up just 1 run on 3 hits, but 6 walks, improving to 3-2, 4-32 on the year as the Blue Jays ended the Tigers 7 game winning streak with a 4-2 win. It is the 23rd win for HomeSiders in the majors this year.
The Phillies have activated Roy Oswalt from the DL and Vance Worley has been returned to Lehigh Valley. Worley pitched very well for Philadelphia, winning 2 games and showing no fear. In St Louis, the Cards beat Cliff Lee and the Phillies, 3-1. Lee pitched 6.1 innings, then Mike Stutes came on and got Albert Pujols to hit into a double play to end the 7th inning.
In Allentown, the IronPigs defeated the Norfolk Tides, 4-3. Chance Chapman threw 2 scoreless innings of relief to register a "hold", and Mike Zagurski (1.74) notched his 2nd "hold" despite allowing a run in his inning. Domonic Brown has not played since Wednesday (he is not listed as injured), but is still on Lehigh Valley's active roster.
4 HomeSiders played in the game in Nashville Monday night as Josh Outman and the Sacramento River Cats beat the Sounds, 3-2. Outman had his best game of the year, going 7 strong innings and allowing just 2 runs on only 2 hits and 3 walks to improve to 4-1, 4.78. Adrian Cardenas (.368) had a single, a double, a walk, scored a run and drove in another, and Michael Taylor was 3 for 4 with an RBI. Zack Segovia threw a 1-2-3 9th inning for Nashville.
In Bradenton, Jonathan Pettibone was outpitched by the Marauder's Phillip Irwin, and Bradenton beat Clearwater and "Bone", 3-1. Pettibone went 6, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits and 2 walks, striking out 6. On another night, it might have been good enough. As it stands, Jonathan falls to 3-3, with a still outstanding 2.03 ERA so far as he has extended a great spring into the season. Eric Pettis threw the final 2 innings, retiring all 6 hitters he faced. Eric has allowed no runs and just 5 hits in 7 innings since his promotion. It was all for naught as Irwin went 6 inning and gave up just 4 hits and an UNearned run for his 2nd win, dropping his ERA to 0.82 in his 5 starts.
Clearwater only had 5 hits on the night, 2 by Leandro Castro (.280) and 1 by Chase Utley.
In Lakewood, the BlueClaws ended a winless home stand with an 8-3, 12 inning loss to the Suns. Here is the good news; Zack Collier had 3 more hits, and is 14 for 36 (.389) during his 8-game hitting streak. Anthony Hewitt had 3 more hit, including a 2-run triple, and is hitting .303 after his 2 for 28 start. Lisalberto Bonilla threw 3 more scoreless innings for Lakewood, and has given up just 1 run on 4 hits in 12.1 innings of work since being added less than 2 weeks ago.
The Phillies have announced that Jacob Borup has been added to the Lakewood roster and Hector Neris has been returned to extended spring training.
