7/22 Cup of Coffee
Well it was a rough night once again down on the farm. In Pawtucket Jon Papelbon must be wondering what he has to do to post a win in AAA. After a great first outing in which the bullpen blew the game, a poor outing in his second start, he came back and pitched a gem Thursday going 8 innings. He gave up only 1 run on 6 hits while striking out 3. The only trouble was his team did not score a single run and Louisville walked off with a 1-0 victory. Roberto Petagine was 2 for 4 to lead the PawSox. Portland had the night off in the Eastern League. In the Carolina League, Wilmington took it on the nose losing 4-0 to Myrtle Beach. Andrew Dobies took the loss, his record now 8-7. He went 5 1/3 innings and gave up 4 runs on 6 hits while striking out 5. Bryan Pritz went 2 for 3 to led the Blue Rocks. In the South Atlantic League, Greensboro defeated Greenville 8-3. Scott Shoemaker was tagged with the loss. His record is now 6-3. He went 5 innings giving up 5 runs on 8 hits. Chris Turner was 3 for 4 with a RBI and Andrew Pinckney was 2 for 4 with a run scored. In the NY-Penn League, Lowell lost 7-6 to Batavia. Clay Buchholz started and went 3 innings giving up a solo run on 1 hit. Modesto Ozuna pitched 3 hitless innings. The loss went to Agrimiro Gaunchez who gave up 1 run in his 1 inning of work. Luis Soto and Jason Twomley both were 2 for 3 for the Spinners. The only win of the night went to the Gulf Coast Red Sox who defeated the Reds 6-2. Henry Cabrera went 5 innings giving up only 1 hit and 1 run but did not get the win. It went to Remos Linares who pitched 1 scoreless inning. Bubba Bell led the attack going 3 for 5, driving in 3 runs and scoring 1. Ricky Sanchez and Emilio Linares were both 2/3.
