DSL Reds at Twins. Postponed.
There's a Thomas Diamond too?
He was part of the DVD trio of Rangers pitching prospects
I think there was a first game in Rochester, too. Red Wings won, 13-3, scheduled 7 inning game.
Slowey's start only lasted 2.2 innings, 56 pitches, 2 ER.
Chuck James pitched the next two, and gave up a run on a single, walk, and single in the fifth.
Dusty Hughes got the win for a scoreless 1.1 innings. (Slowey didn't pitch enough for the decision, even though he left with a 6-2 lead.)
Nearly half of the runs came in the third off PawSox Starter and former Twin Matt Fox: 11ER in 2.2 IP.
Here's his third inning: HR, H, BB, K, 2B, (WP), GO, HR (Relieved).
This game saw the RedWings hit 5 homers: Rehabbing DH Del Young, Trevor Plouffe, Dustin Martin, Danny Lehmann, Brandon Roberts. Also, Toby Gardenhire hit the only double.
Oops. Got in too big of a hurry, obviously. Thanks for picking me up.
No problem, I assumed you missed the first game during cut-and-paste.
Since I looked it up, I figured I might as well share.
You assumption was precisely correct.
Did you keep your text? I'd like to see how you'd've done it. I'm poor at succinctness.
