Daisuke Matsuzake came up just short of a no-hitter against the Bushslappers yesterday. In fact he held D.C. to only one hit after all was said and done. And he still lost. That's because the one hit was a solo home run by Adrian Beltre to lead off the ninth. Oh yeah, D.C.'s Shawn Marcum was also busy holding the Sardines to only five hits in 8.1 shutout innings. Dice-K also struck out nine and gave up one walk, while falling to 1-4 on the season.
Carolina unleashed their fury on the Plunkers yesterday to the tune of a 17-3 thrashing. Ryan Garko, freshly rested after his recent injury, was 4-5 with 5 RBIS and Grady Sizemore was also 4-5. Aramis Ramirez and Jeff Francoeur each had 3 RBIs. Amazingly, the Mudcats only hit one home run, by Johnny Estrada, who was subbing in for the injured Mike Redmond. The Cats ended up with 19 total hits.
Marietta ended Hillsborough's six-game winning streak yesterday with a 2-0 blanking by John Lester. Lester pitched a complete game 2-hitter, walking two and striking out one. Like Sardine City, Hillsborough's John Lackey pitched well in defeat (8 IP, 2 ER, 5 H), but it wasn't enough. Casey Kotchmann drove in both runs for Marietta on a solo homer and an RBI single.
