Farmers Only: Edwin hits another bomb to lead Justin Lehr to victory

by BK on Jun 25, 2009 7:00 AM EDT in Farmers only

Louisville shut out Charlotte 5-0 behind a stellar performance by Justin Lehr. Lehr earned his 10th win of the season, only giving up 3 hits (and no runs) in 8 innings, while striking out 4 and walking none. Edwin Encarnacion hit his 2nd HR of his rehab stint while going 2-for-5, and Michael Griffin, Kevin Barker, and Daniel Dorn also had two hits to contribute to the offensive attack. Up next: Sam LeCure takes on Charlotte at 7:15.
Zach Stewart had a good start that was wasted by the bullpen as Carolina lost to Jacksonville 10-5. Stewart gave up 2 runs in 5 innings, striking out 6, but after 21 2/3 scoreless innings in AA, Logan Ondrusek got shelled, giving up 5 runs in 1/3 of an inning for the loss. Todd Frazier and Sean Henry went deep for the Mudcats, and Zachary Cozart and Jose Castro had two hits each. Up next: Tom Cochran takes on Jacksonville at 7:15.
Sarasota won a close game against Palm Beach 4-3. Scott Carroll started the game, giving up only 1 run in 6 innings of work. Neftali Soto drove in 2 runs to lead the offense, and Denis Phipps had two hits. Enerio Del Rosario pitched a perfect 9th for his 3rd save. Up next: Sarasota takes on Lakeland at 7. No starter listed. Webb?
Dayton is still off for their all-star break, but they resume play tomorrow in Lansing at 7:05. Curtis Partch pitched 5 days ago, but there's no telling who they'll run out there after the break.
Billings lost 5-3 to Great Falls, behind a mediocre start by Shea Snowden. Chris McMurray had 3 hits to lead the offense, but he didn't get much help. Up next: Luca Panerati takes his first start of the season against Great Falls at 9:05.
The GCL Reds blew a lead late in the game to lose to the GCL Red Sox 6-5. Billy Hamilton was 2-for-4 again, and Danny Vicioso had two hits, including a 3-run HR. Tyler Cline had a great start, only giving up 1 run and striking out 5 in 5 innings. Up next: The GCL Reds take on the GCL Rays at noon, with no starter listed.

Thanks for the updates

Edwin is looking alright down there. In any case, occasional homeruns would be nice from our 3B!

Fay was saying yesterday that EdE was still pretty rusty

I think his only hits since the rehab started have been 2 home runs…

Edwin's definitely not ready

Needs an 0-4 with a couple weak grounders with men on third with less than two outs first. Gotta make sure he’s slumping when they call him up so they can have an excuse to play Rosales more.

That sounds lik ethe EdE I was seeing before he went on the DL. At this point, he couldn’t be any worse than what we have been doing and if his only hits go out of the park, I think it’s sitll better than Rosey (I like Rosey, but we need hits!)
