Louisville
The Bats welcomed Brandon Phillips to Louisville with a 9-0 loss to the Indianapolis Indians. El Beeparino went 0-2 with a walk in his first game back from his thumb injury. BP wasn't the only rehabbing Red in this one, as Logan Ondrusek pitched a scoreless first inning, allowing a pair of hits. Scott "Shine on You Crazy" Diamond had a nightmare appearance, giving up 7 runs on 10 hits in 3.1 innings. Blech.
Louisville got beat up again on Saturday, losing 8-2 to Naptown. Mikey O'Brien got smacked around like a red-headed stepchild, giving up 6 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings, while striking out 3. BP went 0-3 in his second rehab appearance.

Devin Lohman went 3-4 with a triple, and Juan Silverio honked a solo dinger on a 1-4 night.
Pensacola had a frustrating Saturday, getting shutout 3-0 despite rapping out 8 hits, and having 15 batters reach base. Michael Lorenzen had a so-so start, striking out 4 and walking 2, while giving up a pair of runs in 5 innings. Brodie Greene, Moose Mattair and Chris Berset all had multi-hit games, but not enough clutchy gritscrap to get them around to score.
The Wahoos got shutout yet again on Sunday, falling 4-0 to the Jacksonville Suns. Daniel Corcino looked very sharp, striking out 7 in 7 innings, giving up 2 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks.

Up Next: Gopper (7-10, 3.13 ERA) is listed as the starter for the afternoon game, but he's apparently been promoted to Louisville, so who knows.
