Chris Reddout pitched a one hitter over seven innings for Auburn but couldn't get the win.  Syracuse wielded the lumber in support of Josh Banks.  Ismael Ramirez had a rare off-day while Russell Savickas lowered his ERA at Dunedin under 2.00.



Syracuse 12  Pawtucket 2

Syracuse took the lead with two in the third inning, Adam Lind homered to lead off the inning, Wayne Lydon singled and stole both second and third before Kevin Barker singled him home.  Barker hit a three run home run in the fifth to make it 5-0, Eric Kratz had a two run shot in the ninth.  Rob Cosby had three hits, Wayne Lydon and Kevin Barker two hits and a walk each, Russ Adams two hits and two walks, and Adam Lind two hits and a sac fly.  Adams is hitting .354, Lind .323.  In a very small sample size Lind has walked eight times in nine games to give him a .450 plus OBP.

Josh Banks benefitted from the support and pitched six shutout innings for his eighth win.

New Hampshire 6  Erie 9

Ismael Ramirez has pitched very well for the Fisher Cats this season but in this game he was not sharp giving up four solo home runs in four innings.  Kyle Yates fared no better giving up four runs also.  Despite that New Hampshire had the lead in the fifth inning.  Ryan Patterson doubled and scored in the second inning; Manny Mayorson hit a three run home run in the fourth; followed by a Dustin Majewski solo home run.  But Erie scored three runs in the seventh off Yates to take the lead for good. Mayorson continued his hot hitting with 3 hits, Majewski and Patterson had two hits each.

Dunedin 5  Jupiter 1

Russell Savickas pitched six innings of three hit ball, allowing only an unearned run to get the win.  Savickas is now 6-1 at Dunedin and has a 1.98 ERA.  Scott Dragicevich and Juan Peralta carried the offense for Dunedin, they both singled and scored in the third inning; Dragicevich doubled in a run in the fourth; and Dragicevich singled and Peralta doubled in the seventh with both scoring. 

Lansing 7  Cedar Rapids 5

Adrian Martin gave up three runs in the first inning but settled down thereafter and completed five innings without further damage.  Joey Metropoulos homered in the second and four singles led to three runs in the fourth.  After Jordan Timm gave up a home run to tie the game, Brian Pettway hit a three run homer to seal the win for the Lugnuts.

Williamsport 1  Auburn 2

Ben Zeskind homered in the first inning and Chris Reddout threw a one-hitter for seven innings and Auburn took a 1-0 lead to the ninth, but Zach Dials gave up the tying run in the top of the ninth.  In the bottom of the ninth, with two out, back-to-back doubles by Adam Calderone and Jonathan Baksh produced the winning run.  Reddout deserved the win but Dials got it., and a blown save 

Danville 14  Pulaski 1

Danville built a 11-0 lead after five innings and cruised thereafter.  They only outhit Pulaski 12-11 but Danville had seven extra-base hits to none by Pulaski.  Raul Barron and Wesley Stone had two hits each.

Does anyone know what Kyle Yates was sent to the bullpen? He had been pitching quite well since his recall from Dunedin.

I don't know, but it's not uncommon for the Jays to do this to limit a player's innings.  Yates is close to 120 now.

Travis Snider has a double and a home run in his first two at-bats tonight.  Ty Taubenheim, who had pitched well out of the bullpen for Syracuse since his return, got the start tonight and was bombed and gone in the third inning.

Since Gerry's last update, Travis Snider has added another homerun and another double... This kid might be decent.

So if  you're the Jays do you send him to Lansing for the last few weeks or let him stay in rookie ball and hammer the crap outta the ball?  He is 18 after all and fresh out of high school.

Anyone have an update on FREE Anthony Hatch? I haven't seen his name in the boxscores recently.....
Gerry - Tuesday, August 08 2006 @ 10:00 AM EDT (#152602) #
I think the Jays will look to get Snider some playoff exposure.  Lansing is a big jump for an 18 year old, Auburn is the next step up.  Pulaski and Auburn are battling for playoff spots so I think he will stay where he is for now.  But if Auburn make the playoffs and Pulaski don't I would expect to see him promoted.  A promotion to Lansing is a big jump and I don't think you will see that, other than some playoff exposure.

Anthony Hatch is on the DL in Lansing with a wrist injury.

As far as Snider, I can see him in Lansing for the playoffs.  The MWL has a more than a few 18 and 19 year old players, so I don't think that he would be totally overmatched, especially with  him being a 1st round pick.  There would be an adjustment however.

I agree with Gerry however, a promotion to Auburn is probably more likely for the playoffs.
