Last week (3-4): 2-1 vs. Phoenix, 1-3 vs. Salt Lake City
Dennis Morgan was 3-5 with a homer and 4 RBIs to lead an 11-4 drubbing of Phoenix on Monday. Simon and Lucio Martinez also had three hits in the game.
Todd Fletcher moved his record to 11-3 by beating Phoenix 5-1 in the rubber game of the series.
The bullpen continues to plague the team by blowing another save in the first game of the Salt Lake City series. Trejo and Sanders combined to lose this one.
The young pitchers at the back of our rotation did not fool the powerful Salt Lake City offense and we were badly out-classed in the series.
Harry Hall was named Player of the Week after abusing our pitching staff.
The Providence Grays (29-58, last place, 22 GB) fired their manager and GM. Its unusual to see a GM fired in mid-season.
The Orlando Sharks (35-54, last place, 16 GB) fired manager Jose Hurtado. I felt like Hurtado did not have the experience to handle a major-league job when they hired him out of AA.
Pittsburgh traded Slamet Nitisastro back to Cincinnati after getting Dale Harris in the trade with us. They are making a lot of moves ahead of the deadline.
This week: All-Star break followed by the special inter-league home & home series featuring two games at Charlotte followed by a pair at home with the Knights.
