Loading ...Triple – A
Louisville 2 – Lehigh Valley 1
Free Darnell McDonald! Darnell went 4-4 last night with a double to raise his AAA batting average to .314 on the season. Drew Stubbs went 2-4 with a double, an rbi, and a stolen base, his 46th of the season. Chris Valaika was 2-4 and even Travis Wood went 2-3 at the dish. Oh yeah, Wood even stole a base as well.
On the mound, Wood was his typical, dominant self. He went 6 innings, allowing 1 run on 6 hits with 3 walks and a strikeout. He has now made 4 starts for Louisville and has allowed 1 or more earned runs only once.
Double – A
The Mudcats did not play yesterday.

Oscar Castro was roughed up in the loss. Castro allowed 6 runs in 1.2 innings. The 6 runs were scored on 6 hits and 2 walks.
Rookie League
Juan Duran, Henry Rodriguez, and Danny Hernandez each had 2 rbis for the Reds in the comeback win. The Reds scored 6 runs in the 8th inning, to erase an 8-4 deficit for the win. Hernandez hit his first homerun of the season in that 8th inning. Billy Hamilton went 2-4 with a double and a triple. He also scored a run and drew a walk.
Marcos Molina improved to 4-1 on the season by pitching a scoreless inning of relief.
Tyler Stovall hit his first homerun of the season for the Mustangs, a solo shot, for his only hit of the game. Chris McMurray went 1-2 with a triple and an rbi.
Leonardo Astorga picked up the loss by allowing 2 runs on 8 hits in 5 innings pitched. He walked 2 and struck out 4.
I’m not overly concerned about our rotation next season. Sometimes injuries have a way of allowing other people an opportunity they wouldn’t normally have. Wood along with Maloney, LeCure and Thompson is nice depth. Wood is only 22 and LH. I would assume that he has the inside track in the rotation next year.
You should start posting the Reds highlights/boxscore under Down on the Farm as 4-A, in lieu of a Titanic Recap. That would be both funny and fitting. Plus, we would still get a boxscore.
Who has 2 thumbs and is painfully sarcastic about the Reds?
*THIS GUY!*
(That was a reference to RCR and that picture of his up there… sorry, every time I look at it I can’t help but think of that whole line of “who has 2 thumbs and…” jokes.)
That’s exactly what that picture is, Dan. If you notice, I’m also winking, so it’s “what has two thumbs and one eye…” Either way, the answer is always the same, THIS GUY!
