I'd love to see Dom Brown return to the lineup to face Strasburg, but I'm guessing he won't.

 

[Jaypers]

1-2-3 first inning for Stras. Two groundouts, one popup. Hit the upper 90's repeatedly.

No Dom Brown in the lineup.

 

[Russ S.]

1-2-3 first inning for Stras. Two groundouts, one popup. Hit the upper 90's repeatedly.

No Dom Brown in the lineup.

No one cares about that chump JP.

Let's see if Troy Patton can get that ERA to 12

 

[Jaypers]

Another 1-2-3 inning for the Chump.

Oh, and 2 K's.

 

[sheetskout]

Jake Odorizzi has not allowed a run thus far and has a 12/2 K/BB ratio in 8.0IP. .042 OBA

1-2-3 first inning for Stras. Two groundouts, one popup. Hit the upper 90's repeatedly.

No Dom Brown in the lineup.

I really wanted to get to this one, but couldn't quite swing it. Oh well...

Not missing Brown makes it a little better. My guess would be the players dislike the AM games.

I wonder if this'll be the first of many to come Strasburg/Storen combo wins.

 

[Jaypers]

3rd inning: gave up a hit, 2 more K's. (4 total)

Hitting 97 consistently, has touched 98.

 

[Jaypers]

4th inning: one BB, one K (5).

His Senators aren't helping him out in the clutch thus far -- 6 hits, 6 runners stranded.

 

[Jaypers]

5th inning: another 1-2-3 inning, another K (6).

Still touching 98. And Harrisburg finally gave him a run to work with.

 

[Jaypers]

Strasburg's day is done after 5 innings and is in line to get the win. Excellent outing. And 6 groundball outs.

5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K


In other news, Kyle Skipworth launched a 3-run jack.

 

[Jaypers]

Heisey and Valaika are 2-2 so far each, both with RBI's.

Short outing for Jake McGee. 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K

Edgar Olmos so far -- 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K

milb gameday says injury delay after McGee was removed. I hope he is alright.

Crap. Had a bad feeling.

 

[t3dudek]

Danny Espinosa is 3-3 all singles so far today.

 

[Jaypers]

I wish there were room at Busch for Jon Jay. 2B so far today, and he's gotten hits in his last 11 games straight. Now batting .377.

Attn: Ballerskrip & Ozzie's Translator -- cover your eyes.


From Milb's Jonathan Mayo:

Indians prospect Carlos Santana lifting in third inning after fouling a ball off his leg. Not thought to be too serious, but details to come.

 

[Codasco07]

I wish there were room at Busch for Jon Jay. 2B so far today, and he's gotten hits in his last 11 games straight. Now batting .377.

If he and Craig continue playing the same way, I would not be surprised to see them flip flop.

 

[Jaypers]

Only in the 2nd inning in Durham, and Jennings has already singled and stolen 2 bases.

Smoak 1-2, 2B

Lucroy (AAA debut) 1-2, 2B, RBI, throwing error

Rocky outing for Alderson. 4.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 1K

Austin Romine 2-4, 2B, 2 RBI

Kalish 1-2, HR (3)

Waring 1-3, HR (3)

Stanton 1-3, 2B

Mark Rogers 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K

Rashun Dixon 2-3, HR

Finally, a decent outing from Dexter Carter in his new uniform. 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 5 K

Edinson Rincon 2-4, 2B, RBI

Hoping he starts getting the hobby love so I can move everything I got.

 

[Messier2]

I think this is the breakout year everyone was expecting from Andrew Lambo last year!

He's raking!
