Yesterday's action in the Pacific Coast League included a couple of boxscore names that should look familiar to Blue Jays fans:
Tacoma 15, Colorado Springs 10
P.Borders, C 6 1 6 3 .395
Edmonton 9, Las Vegas 7
R.Knorr, C 5 1 2 1 .255
Time to start scanning Baseball America for word of Sandy Martinez and The Other Kevin Brown.
In games played by current members of the Jays minor-league organization:
Syracuse 6, Charlotte 4
- Two more hits for Reed Johnson, who's now at .326/.375/.465; homer and 5 ribbies for DeWayne Wise; unspectacular outing for starter David Abbott. Also, Corey Thurman is on the DL there, though I haven't been able to find out the cause.
Jupiter 6, Dunedin 3
- Two hits for Russ Adams, up to .279/.363/.368; four hits and a home run for recently demoted Kurt Keene; Neomar Flores got knocked around again and saw his ERA rise to 6.65.
Delmarva 1, Charleston 0
- Pitching duel of the night in the minor leagues: Vince Perkins threw six shutout innings (6 IP, 1 H, 2 BB, 7 K), but the Alley-Cats were dominated by Orioles farmhand John Maine: 7 2/3 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 11 K. Compare their lines thus far this year:
Perkins
7 GS, 3-0, 1.09, 41 IP, 13 H, 19 BB, 54 K (36.2% K/BF)
Maine
7 GS, 4-1, 1.43, 37 IP, 19 H, 9 BB, 49 K (36.2% K/BF)
No game at AA New Haven yesterday.
Plug: a handy little digest of the previous day's highlights throughout the minor leagues is available in a free daily e-mail service at Kevin Goldstein's The Prospect Report. Highly recommended.
