Last week (4-3): 0-3 at Chicago, 4-0 at Phoenix
CF Pedro Dominguez was activated without a rehab assignment. We need him in the lineup even if he is rusty. Arlen Craig was sent down to AAA and Blair stays.
Simon has been replaced in the lineup by Lucio Martinez. We are so short-handed that we need a Swiss army knife on the bench (plus Simon is still in a bad slump).
07/28: CHI 4, LOU 2 Stanley (CHI) 6.2 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 4 BB, 7 K, W (7-6, 3.43)
Edgardo Ordonez was diagnosed with elbow inflammation. He will be out for 8-9 weeks, which essentially means the rest of the regular season.
Ordonez was placed on the 60-day D/L. Aaron Wilkerson will go into the rotation. Lexington closer Mike Guthrie was called up to help the bullpen.
07/29: CHI 7, LOU 4 All-Star 2B Trevor James (CHI) 4-5, HR, 2 RBI, SB, 2 RS
James extended his hitting streak to 25 games, longest in the Federal this year.
Phoenix RF Roy Newbury had 6 hits in an extra-inning game (ties the CBA record).
07/30: CHI 12, LOU 9 Luna 4.2 IP, 8 ER, 11 H, 2 BB, 3 K, L (12-4, 3.17 ERA)
We scored 6 runs in the top of the first and still lost with Luna on the mound. Wow.
07/31: LOU 7, PHX 2 Blair 3-4, HR, 4 RBI; Alexander 6.2 IP, 2 ER, W (6-8, 5.84)
Ray Alexander (!!) was our Pitcher of the Month for July: 4-0, 2.53 ERA, 5/6 QS
LF Dennis Morgan was our Player of the Month: .328/.411/.766, 8 HR, 29 RBI
08/01: LOU 8, PHX 6 Guy 2-2, HR, 5 RBI, 3 BB, 3 RS (grand slam in 1st inning)

Lexington SP Matt Henry (12-5, 2.89) was named AAA Pitcher of the Month for the second time this year.
Our #5 draft pick CL Mark Gates was named Class-A Pitcher of the Month. He had 11 saves, 26 Ks in 16 IP, and a 1.13 ERA in July.
Owensboros 19-year-old SP Mike Pierce (5-0, 0.69 ERA) was named Rookie League Pitcher of the Month.
08/02: LOU 10, PHX 0 shutout by Trauttmann 5 H, 1 BB, 6 K (11-6, 3.15 ERA)
Mike Guy was 3-4 with 2 DBL, 3 RBI, and 3 RS in the game. He is hot again.
Ron Hartman was hit by a pitch and has a bruised elbow. He is out 1-2 weeks.
