#Detroit Wolverines
Bob Bailey hit 2 HRs and drove in 5 to lead the
Wolverines to a 7-2 victory over
Chicago. The win went to
Johnny Marcum, who threw 4 hitless innings in relief of
Hank Aguirre. Marcum moved to 2-1 on the season.
Hal Newhouser began his road back to Detroit with a rehab assignment at AAA.
#Memphis Red Sox
Trailing 6-2 after four innings, the Red Sox looked unlikely to end their 8 game losing streak. But, behind two HRs and 5 RBIs from
Manny Ramirez and 4 hits from
Mookie Betts,
Memphis came back against
Ottawa, scoring 9 unanswered runs en route to an 11-6 victory.
Ted Williams kept the streak going, leading off the bottom of the 15th inning with a HR to RF off
Monk Dubiel, giving Memphis a 6-5 win likely to decimate both bullpens for a while.
The Red Sox will need more bullpen help before their next series, though, as the 15 inning game was followed by an even longer one as they were pushed to 18 innings in the season finale against Ottawa.
Heath Bell,
Eddie Cicotte, and
Tim Wakefield combined for 9.1 scoreless innings, with Wakefield being particularly impressive. But
Turk Farrell gave up 2 runs, and Memphis dropped the marathon game, 5-4.
Afterwards,
Sadie McMahon and Cicotte were sent to AAA, with
Mel Parnell and
Joe Borowski joining the major league club.
