WEEK 23
1 @ Brooklyn (74-67 3 GB)
3 vs Dayton (56-85 42 GB)
3 @ Arizona (68-73 10 GB)

GAME 141
Zamora (12-3) goes 6-5-1-1-0-6 for the win and after a Ken Johnson hiccup (0-0-2-2-3-0) Pennington and Winston end it. Hugh Collins goes 3-3 with 3 runs, Pedro Salinas 3-5 with 2 doubles (30) and 3 RBI’s (121). Bill Alexander continues his late season surge going 2-5 with 3 RBI’s (86) and Chavez drives in 1 (120).

GOOD GAMES
Vince Bray (PIT) won his 20th in a 7-0 5 hitter to tie his, and Bartolo Serrano’s, IBL record with 4 shutouts in a season. Bray won 20 for the 3rd time in his career. He’s 20-5 2.72 with 204 K’s, all league leading totals as he aims for his 2nd career pitching triple crown.

CONTRACT TALKS
It’s been done hush hush, until today. 28 year old Ken Lee agreed to a 5 year 31.29M dollar contract extension. The deal contains 4 guaranteed years at 22.76M, with a 5th year vesting option (112 starts) of 8.58M.

(A great deal, with more cost certainty. Trims money off expected payroll for ’18 (his arbitration was looking to end up in the 6m range, he’s signed at 4.58 and 5.58 for the next 2 seasons, 6.05 for the 2 years after that, saving me a good chunk over that period.)

GAME 142
A rough 1st inning for Thompson working around an error, but the final out, Alfonso Gallegos, was his 200th K of the season, setting a new franchise record (breaking Alejandre’s old mark of 199). He’d end with a no decision on a 6-9-5-3-1-8 day. Holt, Ellison, Rodriguez and Sanchez (2-3) went 3-1-0-0-1-6. Closer Yohann Diffenderffer (4-8) walked 3 before Alberto Rivera’s walk off single won it in the 10th. Pedro Salinas went 2-4 with 3 RBI’s on his 31st double and 38th homer.
CHI 6 DAY 5 (10) (00-43 +12)

INJURY NEWS
Patriot reliever Julio Salinas, signed to a 3 year 36.6M free agent deal this winter as Philly was building a bullpen for the ages, will miss the rest of the ’17 season and it looks like he may miss the entire ’18 season as well. The 33 year old was diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear today. The Patriots are 70-72, 8 games back of the 2nd WC spot and 9 behind Keystone Division leader Pittsburgh.

CONTRACT NEWS
Michigan announced the signing of 27 year old slugger Pat Dobson (3B) to a 4 year 34M dollar contract extension today. Dobson is hitting .254 with a career high 31 homers and 82 RBI’s.

GAME 143
Ken Lee (15-8) tossed a 6 hit shutout, punching out 10 for the teams 100th win. Pedro Salinas continued his torrid campaign with a 3-4 2 RBI (126) day, hitting his 39th homer. Bill Alexander hit his 20th and drove in 2 (89). Thomas Savary (12-11) went 4.1-8-6-6-3-0 in the loss.
CHI 7 DAY 0 (100-43 +12)

MINORS NEWS
Heavener was shut out today. Well not just shut out but Little Rock Bisons pitcher Victorien Martin (7th round pick this year out of USC) tossed a perfect game, striking out 11 vs them.

Belleview won their opening round series, 2-0 over the Garland Cyclones, and play the Watertown Silver Stars next.

GAME 144
Alejandrez (17-6) took a no-hitter into the 8th before Rafael Quintanilla’s leadoff single. His line, 9-1-0-0-2-5 was the 2nd career 1 hitter for him. 6 Iron Pig homers (Miller (23) Chavez (37) Knox (24) Salinas (40) Morgan (22) and Lester Jones (2) led the 16 run 16 hit attack. Paul Riggs was 3-4, Chavez 2-6 and drove in 3 (123), Knox was 2-5 with 3 RBI’s (82).
CHI 16 DAY 0 (101-43 +12)

MINORS NEWS
Holy crap. Heavener? They had a perfect game tossed against them yesterday. Today? It was not perfect, but it was another no-hitter. Roy Reynolds of Little Rock K’d 11 in the no-hitter to move to 2-0 0.53 on the year.

INJURY NEWS

STUFF

#1 pick Pat Kelley (BOS) is now 7-4 2.49 in 12 starts. He came straight to the IBL after his record 9.1M signing, and has been spectacular.

CHI 6 AZ 5 (103-43 +12)

A pair of Aces came up big today. Barry Zito (17-13 3.27) tossed an 11 K 4 hitter over Green Bay and Vincent Bray (21-5 2.61) tossed his 2nd shutout in a row and set a new IBL single season record for shutouts with his 5th in a 3 hit 11K win over Sacramento. Zito now leads the FL in K’s at 226 to Jesus Romano’s 205, and is tied with Walt Thompson at 3.27. Bray is opening up sizable leads across the board in the CL, on his way to a 2nd triple crown.

PLAYOFF NEWS
