- Louisville continues to roll on, as they beat Toledo 10-4. That's 8 in a row, and 19 of the last 20. Wladimir Balentien and Chris Valaika were both 4-for-5, and Eric Eymann hit his first homer of the year, a 3-run bomb. Chad Reineke gave up 3 runs in 5 innings in his start, and Jeremy Horst shined in his AAA debut with 2 shutout innings. The best part of this game is that Columbus lost, so the Bats are now in first place in their division. Up next: Sam LeCure takes on the Clippers in Columbus at 7:05, so you Central Ohio RRs had better get out there and support them. Let's hope that this series between 1st and 2nd place division rivals goes better for our boys than a certain other one did.
- Carolina lost to Jacksonville 8-5. Travis Webb got knocked around a bit in his start, and the recently promoted Nick Christiani gave up a run in his first inning of work there. Kris Negron and Denis Phipps both homered for the Mudcats. Up next: James Avery takes on Jacksonville at 7:05.
- Lynchburg was rained out. They'll resume tonight at 7:05 against Kinston.
- Dayton continued their freefall with a 10-3 loss against Lansing. Frank Pfister was 3-for-4 with 2 doubles and 2 RBI. Clayton Shunick was disappointing in his start, but getting the win in the game was Lansing's Egan Smith. Yep, that's Jordan's brother. Neato. Up next: Tim Crabbe takes the hill against Lansing at 7.
- Billings beat Great Falls 14-2 behind a stellar pitching performance by Jesus Adames. Adames went 5 innings of shutout ball, and Pat Doyle relieved him with 2 hitless innings. Devin Lohman and Donald Lutz both homered, and Lohman drove in 5 runs. Up next: Tanner Robles will try to bounce back tonight against Great Falls at 9:05.
