AAA
25 year-old Chris Denorfia continues to pound the ball. The 19th round pick of the 2002 draft, went 4 for 5 with a 2B, and 3 R. For the season he is now hitting .346/.405/.452.
26 year-old Brad Salmon pitched 2.2 innings giving up 2 H, a BB, and 0 ER. Since being promoted form Chattanooga, Salmon has a 2.08 ERA with 21 KS, 6 BB, and 13 H in 17.1 IP. At Chattanooga he had a 2.70 ERA with 24 Ks, 16 BB, and 18 H in 23.1 IP.
Curiously the Bats pitched 4 relievers last night, and no starters. I wonder if they were having tryouts for the Reds?
AA
24 year-old Carlos Guevara pitched 2 innings giving up 1 H, 0 BB, and 0 ER. For the season the 7th round pick of the 2003 draft he now has a 2.65 ERA with 47 K, 13 BB, and 30 H in 37.1 IP.
