What's the News?
Minor Happenings is up at IPI and Tony sort of rights a wrong by giving Bo Greenwell his player of the week. Greenwell was robbed of the Midwest player of the week by losing out to the person who is second to him in virtually every hitting category. Go Figure.
Tony talked to Mickey Callaway in Lake County, has quotes from Ross Atkins and covers the latest injury news on Jeremy Sowers, Eric Berger and more.
COLUMBUS
With late rallies in the seventh and eighth innings, the Clippers pulled ahead of Toledo to win 6-2 and even up the series against the Mud Hens.
Errors by Brian Buscher and Anderson Hernandez (cut this guy already) led to the Toledo runs as Scott Lewis got through the first three innings adventurously but unscathed. He went five innings, two unearned runs, six hits and three walks with five strikeouts.
Josh Tomlin picked up the win with three brilliant innings of scoreless ball, giving up just one walk in the process.
The offense was at its best late. Michael Brantley, Trevor Crowe, and Jason Donald did their job at the top, with both Donald and Crowe getting on and stealing bases. Donald scored, walked twice and knocked in two runs, while Crowe scored once and Brantley scored twice off two walks and a hit. Carlos Santana was back in the lineup and up to his usual tricks, going 0-2 but walking three times. Fear the Man.
Big Bad Shelley Duncan knocked in three runs (17 leads the team this season) on the game and Wes Hodges added a sacrifice fly to top off the scoring.
Carlos Carrasco goes in game three of the series on Saturday and looks to rebound from a shaky outing earlier this week.
AKRON
This is getting painful to watch. The Aeros pitching staff got beat down yet again by Bowie, this time surrendering 12 runs and allowing a run in every inning but the 2nd and 3rd as they lost 12-9. What's sad is the fact that the Aeros plated nine before Bowie went on that run to hold a 9-2 lead. Oucccch.
Zach Putnam gave up the two early runs, settled down for two innings and then didn't make it past the fourth inning. He got hit hard for the first time all year giving up five earned (six total) off eight hits and three walks. The bullpen as you can imagine didn't calm things down. Grening gave up two, CC Lee gave up three in his two innings and officially blew the lead and Vinnie Pestano gave up an unearned run.
The positive note is that the Aeros scored some runs, perhaps this is a bit of a turning point for the offense which has been inconsistent.
Lonnie Chisenhall had three hits to raise his average up to .351 as he scored and knocked in a run. Tim Fedroff and Cord Phelps had a pair of hits and RBIs, with Fedroff the only Aero to not score in this game. The big hit came from Beau Mills who knocked in three with a double and knocked the Bowie starter Britton out of the game in the fourth.
Jared Goedert also had a nice game going 1-2 with a double a run scored, a RBI and two walks.
The Aeros try again on Saturday with Scott Barnes on the mound.
KINSTON
Starter Joey Mahalic staked his K-Tribe ball club to a good lead, but the bullpen couldn't hold it as Myrtle Beach rallied late to top Kinston 6-5.
Mahalic went 5.2 innings, giving up one run off just five hits. Travis Turek who relieved him in the sixth ended up blowing it with three earned, four total with the aid of Matt Langwell and a Karexon Sanchez error.
Lucas Montero hit his first home run of the year, a solo shot in the third inning. Bellows, Martinez, and Rivas all knocked in runs for the K-Tribe.
Kelvin De La Cruz goes for Kinston in Saturday's game.
LAKE COUNTY
Captains specialty! Lake County won 3-2 over Bowling Green in the series opener despite being out-hit 10-7.
Bo Greenwell, Ben Carlson, and Jeremie Tice with the run support, Carlson had two hits. Delvi Cid stole his ninth base of the season and walked twice.
Trey Haley went five innings and gave up two runs off six hits and two walks. Rob Bryson picked up his third win of the season by going two scoreless and Cory Burns struck out two to earn his fifth save of the season.
Joe Gardner goes for Lake County in Game Two.
