On Friday night, Jason Donald came off the DL, and had 3 hits for Louisville, including a double. It was Donald's first game in over a month. Then he was 0 for 4 yesterday in the Bats' 6-3 loss to Durham. the HomeSide is glad to see "JD" back in action!!.................In Scranton, Anthony Gose was 1 for 5, with an RBI and a stolen base for Buffalo, as the Bisons trampled the RailRiders, 10-4............In Tucson, Michael Taylor (.319) had 2 hits, including a double for Sacramento, to help the River Cats beat the Padres, 10-5.................In Pearl, Travis Mattair had a double and a walk, and scored a run for the Blue Wahoos in their 4-1 win over the Braves..................In San Antonio, Domingo Santana hit his 11th home run of the year, 1 of 2 hits on the night for the Hooks as Corpus Christi beat the Missions, 5-1.

In a move I missed about a week ago, the Cubs promoted Brian Schlitter from AA to AAA-Iowa City. Since the promotion, Brian has pitched 5 times for the Cubs, a toltal of 7 innings, and allowed just 1 run on 6 hits. Yesterday, he picked up a save by recording the final out of a 5-4 win over Round Rock. Lisalverto Bonilla made the start for the Express and was charged with the loss, going 3.1 innings and allowing 5 runs on 8 hits. I am not sure if the Rangers want Bonilla to be a strater, or if they just needed someone to pitch the second game of a doubleheader yesterday. I guess we will find out in 5 days.

Tribe recalls Carrasco
The Cleveland Indians have recalled Carlos Carrasco, and he will pitch this afternoon against the Tigers in Detroit. Best of luck to Carlos from the HomeSide!!
rainy Friday
Friday night in Detroit, the Tigers defeated Cleveland, 7-5. Michael Bourn (.305) had 2 hits and knocked in a run for the Indians..........In Denver, the Rockies won a wild one, 10-9 over the Padres. Josh Outman allowed a hit and 2 walks in just .2 innings, and was charged with a blown save, his first of the year, in which he allowed an inherited runner to score...............In Milwaukee, the Phillies had their winning streak ended by the Brewers , who came from down, 4-0 to take a 5-4 walk-off win with a run in the 9th. Cliff Lee could not hold the 4-0 advantage. Mike Stutes retired 2 men in the 8th, but an error let a base runner get to 3rd base before Jeremy Horst came on for the final out of the 8th inning. Horst was the loser, giving up a run on 3 hits in the 9th.
The elevator ride continues for Troy Hanzawa, as he was brought back to Lehigh Valley. The IronPigs were in Buffalo, where they split a pair of games with the Bisons. Buffalo won the opener, 4-3.

Lehigh Valley bounced back for a 4-0 win in the nightcap............Phillies lefthander John Lannan made a rehab start for the Threshers, and put in 4 frames, allowing just 2 runs, only 1 of which was earned, on 6 hits and 1 walk in Clearwater's 7-1 loss to the Blue Jays. Lannan's return to the Phillies could see the end of Tyler Cloyd's regular starts in the Phillies rotation, and of Carlos Zambrano proves ready, Jonathan Pettibone could also be bumped.
Jonathan Singleton's return after suspension has stalled in Corpus Christi, where Singleton is just 1 for 10 since arriving from A-ball. Singleton, Domingo Santana and Midland's D'Arby Myers combined to go 0 for 10 in the Hooks 5-0 win over the Rock Hounds.
Quintin Berry has made a clean start, playing his first game last night in Omaha, and looking like the player we remember. Berry had a hit and a walk, stole 2 bases and scored a run for the Storm Chasers in a 5-2 loss to Oklahoma City. Jonathan Villar had 2 hits and 2 RBI for the RedHawks.
