What's the News?
Red hot Bo Greenwell joined Paul and Tony on their latest edition of Smoke Signals. Make sure you check it out.
I don't think I mentioned this in the past few updates (and I didn't update yesterday) but the mascot Jordan Henry was placed on the Disabled List by Kinston a few days ago. Also on Kinston's roster, Santo Frias is on the disabled list and to replace him the K-Tribe received Brett Brach from Extended Spring Training. He was with the Scrappers last year in the rotation.
Henry has a sprained finger.
COLUMBUS
For about three innings it was looking like the Clippers were set for a great game. They were up 2-0 and Yohan Pino was pretty much untouchable. But Toledo exploded in the fourth and never looked back, beating the Clippers 6-4 to take the the first game of a four gamer.
Shelley Duncan and Wes Hodges both had three hits and a RBI for the Clips and Jason Donald walked twice and went 1-3 with a RBI and run scored.
Pino was great from the start until he hit some bad trouble in the fourth. Pino struck out all seven of the hitters he struck out in the first three innings, including the first four hitters of the game.
Then he lost it in the fourth and ended up going six innings with four runs off six hits and two walks. Pino didn't take the loss though, that would be Jess Todd who gave up two runs in the eighth inning despite striking out the side.
Hector Ambriz had his first rough outing for Columbus but he didn't give up any runs. He gave up two hits and a walk but he struck out two and got out of the inning.
Columbus looks to take game two against Toledo with Scotty Lewis on the mound.
AKRON
After getting swept by Altoona, the Aeros arrived in Bowie to return the trip and hopefully return the result, but so far no good as they lost 7-2 to the Baysox.
Lonnie Chisenhall had two hits and a RBI and the other run was knocked in by Matt McBride's second home run of the year. Pretty ho-hum offensive performance from there on out.
Things didn't go much better for the pitching staff as Ryan Edell was pounded to the tune of ten hits and six earned runs (seven total) with one walk. He went just three innings. Erik Stiller helped clan up the mess and went two scoreless, but the real story here is Omar Aguilar.
Aguilar shows some more brilliance with three scoreless innings and six strikeouts. He had the great effort against Bowie, came out and struggled against Altoona and then rebounds with Bowie. He's just a really interesting guy to watch.
Zach Putnam goes for the Aeros as they try and turn this skid around.
KINSTON
After the game was rained out Wednesday, the Kinston Indians and Wilmington played a double-header on Thursday. Kinston won the nine inning game one 7-4 and lost the seven inning game two 4-3.
Alex White probably had his roughest game as a professional going just four rounds and giving up four runs off four hits and three walks while striking out just one hitter. Matt Langwell picked up a win after one scoreless and Steve Smith picked up save number three.
Offensive support came from Jason Kipnis with a RBI and two big doubles by Adam Davis, 2 runs and Richard Martinez, 3 runs.
In game two, TJ House was sort of let down by the defense, but it was his own error that helped the two unearned runs score. He ended up going four and striking out five. Making his 2010 debut was Brett Brach, recently called up to Kinston to replace Santo Frias and things didn't go well. He gave up two runs, on unearned off two hits and a walk as he recorded just two outs.
The K-Tribe put up a three spot in the fifth inning behind another Richard Martinez RBI-hit and a two-run triple by Karexon Sanchez.
Joey Mahalic will go for Kinston as they go home to face Myrtle Beach.
LAKE COUNTY
The Captains suffered a shutout as they dropped a game and therefor their first series of the season to Great Lakes.
All five runs scored off the Caps came in the third inning off Clay Cook, who surrendered four of them as earned and one as unearned. He would end up going give giving up four hits and three walks with six punchouts.
The two Lake County hits came from a Ben Carlson double and a Jeremie Tice single.
The Captains look to rebound against Bowling Green on the road with Trey Haley pitching for Lake County.
