WEEK 9
2 @ El Paso (27-19 +2 WE)
Off Day
3 vs Arizona (25-21 2 GB WE)
1 vs NY (33-13 +13 EM)

GAME 47
Ken Lee (8-1) drops his first decision in a Chicago uniform. It was a struggle from the get go (4.1-7-5-5-4-3). Garcia tossed some fuel on the fire in a 2-2-3-3-3-1 outing. Victor Lange scored 3 times in a 2-3 game and Cuesta (11) and McDonald (2) homered for the Diablos. Cuesta drove in 4, McDonald 3. Lorenzelli was 2-4 with a double (9) and a triple (2). Jason Allen (3-2) went 7-6-1-1-2-4 for the win.
EP 8 CHI 1 (31-16 +5)

INJURY NEWS
Gutierrez went down in the 1st inning, diving for a ball. It’s not serious, but he’s not available for a few days, maybe a week, leaving me short handed unless I DL him. Chartier is due back in 2 weeks but he’ll need a week on rehab at least. Theres a thought to maybe get Eric Coates up for a 2 week showcase as we near the trade deadline in 5-6 weeks.

And I make the move, Coates will leadoff for a few days, see how it works out. Gutierrez will get time to heal and we’ll see what we have in the young LF.

GAME 48
Eric tries to bunt for a hit in his 1st AB, but makes an out, goes 5-3 in his 2nd AB and drills a 2 run homer for his first IBL hit in his 3rd AB, and follows that with another homer, a solo shot, in the 6th, going 2-6 with 2 runs and 3 RBI’s in his debut. It was a day for multi homer games as Bill Alexander went 2-2 with 3 walks, scored 3 times and hit 2 HR’s (10) and drove in 4, Wes Morgan was 3-4 with 3 RBI’s on 2 more home runs (20). Caden Haynes (12) and Valentin Maitani (6) homered for El Paso. Bryan Rogers (7-2) went 6-4-2-2-4-7 (ERA now at 1.37) for the win.
CHI 11 EP 5 (32-16 +5)

GAME 49
Zamora (2-0) battled through some early troubles, bases loaded 1st, 2nd and 3rd 2nd but hung on to go 6-4-1-1-3-3 for the win. Pennington finally had a decent outing going 2 perfect with a K.
