Berry's 3 hits not enough
A busy night on the first of June, with 3 HomeSiders taking the hill in the majors. First, on a rainy night in Philadelphia, Kyle Kendrick survived a 48-minute rain delay in the top of the 5th inning to come back against the Marlins and pick up the victory in the Phillies 6-4 win. Kendrick went the 5.1 innings (with the delay in between) and allowed 2 runs on 8 hits and 3 walks, dancing out of trouble all night long to pick up his 2nd straight win. Carlos Ruiz (.381) had 3 more hits, including a double, and seems to like the clean up spot!! Freddy Galvis added a double and a run scored, while the Marlins got to Antonio Bastardo for 2 runs on back to back home runs in the 8th. Jacob Diekman gave up 2 hits and struck out 1 in his stint, before yeilding to Papaelbon.
That was win #29 this year for HomeSiders.
In Houston, Jay Happ pitched well enough to win again, but suffered from lack of offense from the Astros. Happ allowed 3 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks, and was charged with the loss in Cincinnati's 4-1 win......In Denver, the Rockies are stretching out Josh Outman so he can start again, and he went the first 3.1 innings against the Dodgers. On a strict pitch count, Outman threw 55 pitches, and allowed just 2 hits and 1 walk, striking out 5 of the 10 outs which he recorded in the Rockies' 14-4 win.
In Detroit, Quintin Berry had 3 more hits, including a triple and a double off CC Sabathia and scored 2 runs for the Tigers, but the Yankees prevailed, 9-4. "Q" has now hit in 9 of his first 10 games, and Friday was his 3rd 3-hit game, raising his average up to .364..........In Cleveland, Lou Marson had a hit and a walk and scored a run for the Indians in their 7-1 triumph over Minnesota......In San Francisco, The Giants edged the Cubs, 4-3.

Maloney made his 2nd start in a row, this time making it through 4.2 innings, scattering 10 hits and a walk, but yielding just 2 runs as the Twins continue to stretch him out to return him to the rotation.......In Reno, Randy Ruiz (.345) had 2 more hits and drove in his league leading 52nd run of the year, to lead the Aces to an 8-3 win over Tacoma.
In Gwinnett, Tuffy Gosewisch (.250) had a single, a double, his 3rd home run, 3 RBI, and scored 3 runs for Lehigh Valley in the IronPigs' 14-4 win over the Braves. Steve Susdorf, promoted 2 weeks ago and hitting .273 for the Pigs, had a hit and an RBI. Tyler Cloyd (4-1, 2.74) started and went 6 innings, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits, NO walks, striking out 4 to get no decision. Phillippe Aumont blew the save and got the win, while Tyson Brummett pitched a 1-2-3 9th.........In a strange game in Tampa, the Threshers scored a run in the 13th inning for a 10-9 win over the Yankees. This game was 9-9 after the first 6 innings, and then scoreless for the next 6, before Clearwater broke through for the win. Miguel Alvarez had 3 hits, and D'Arby Myers (.316) continues his hot hitting with a triple and 3 RBI to pace the attack.
In Sacramento, the Fresno Grizzlies edged the River Cats, 2-1. Michael Taylor's (.303) double was 1 of only 4 Sacramento hits.........In Reading, the R-Phils also managed just 4 hits in an 8-1 loss to Binghamton.

In Kodak, the Tennessee Smokies defeated Huntsville, 4-1. Brian Schlitter (1-2, 5.54) was in the right place for a win for the Smokies, while Darren Byrd (0-2, 2.87) allowed 3 runs in his inning to be saddled with the loss.
Just when it appeared the Lakewood BlueClaws had found the recipe for success, Matt Campbell gave up 6 runs in the bottom of the 9th inning and the Kannapolis Intimidators stole a 9-8 win out of the Claws' hand. Newcomer Alejandro Villalobos and Kelly Dugan had 3 hits each for Lakewood, while Chris Duffy, Brian Pointer, and Guantlett Eldemire added 2 hits apiece. Kudos to Colin Kleven, who deserved better. On a night where he got some rare offensive support, the usually dependable bullpen let him down.
