Charlotte 3 – Buffalo 5

Today Kyle Drabek was plagued by the walk bug as he has been in the past.  Kyle threw 5 innings today giving up 3 earned runs, on 3 hits, with 4 walks, and 3 strikeouts.  John Stilson pitched the next 3 innings striking out 6 and not giving up a base runner.

Dan Johnson hit a 2 run Home Run in the 4th knocking in 2 runs, which was his 5th of the season.  As well Ryan Goins, Jared Goedert, and Darin Mastroianni each had contributed with an RBI helping in the Bisons win.

The Fisher Cats had 6 hits today, including two from Brad Glenn.  Kevin Nolan and Jonathan Jones each had an RBI.

 

Tampa 3 – Dunedin 4

Dunedin won a close game grabbing their 21st win of the season in the process.  Dwight Smith had his 3rd home run of the season, and Dalton Pompey swiped his 15th stolen base of the season.

Jesse Hernandez had a decent start in which he gave up 3 earned runs over 5.2 innings.

 

West Michigan 2 – Lansing 1

The Lugnuts unfortunately lost a close game after a fantastic 8 inning tandem start from Chase De Jong and Alonzo Gonzalez in which they didn’t give up a run.  Reliever Phil Kish gave up 2 earned runs in the top of the 9th, and was given the loss.

LB Dantzler was 1-2, with two walks, and got the only RBI of the game for the Lugnuts.

Do we know if Lind started rehab yesterday?

Lind did play for Dunedin, he walked and scored on Smith's homer but otherwise had an oh-fer.

Kevin Pillar is the International League's Hitter of the Week. After a slow start, he's turned around nicely - I'd like to see him up in Toronto soon. The team could really use a RH bat who can play centre field.

Is there any reports on Dejong's stuff this year? Is he filling out?

Tom Robson seems to be getting it together.  After a leadoff triple, it's been 15 up, 15 down including 7 Ks.

Kevin Pillar just tripled in the tying run for the Herd.  He's 3-3 with a walk and is making his case.
