C.C. Sabathia shut down the Vancouver Iron Fist in a 5-0 victory yesterday. Sabathia held the Fist to only 4 hits and struck out 6. With the loss Vancouver slips back to a tie with idle Philadelphia. Hillsborough gains a much-needed win and breaks their 5-game losing streak.
Meanwhile, Carolina stuns the Sugar Bears in Newark with a 10-7 victory. Jeff Francoeur was 4-5 and Cliff Floyd was 3-6 with 3 RBIs to lead the Mudcat offense. Starter Carlos Zambrano did not do much to help (3.2 IP, 9 H, 6 ER), but the Mudcat bullpen pitched 5.1 innings of shutout ball to give the Cats a chance to score some runs. They responded by scoring 8 runs in three innings to take the lead back.
Meanwhile, Las Vegas welcomed back shortstop Jeff Keppinger, who had been on the DL twice already this season. Kepp responded with a 3-5 night, leading the Rat Pack to a 9-1 victory over Marietta. Brian Wolfe took one for the team, replacing A.J. Burnett after he was ejected for challenging Casey Kotchman to a knife fight. Wolfe pitched 5.1 innings in relief, giving up only one run on 3 hits and striking out 4, while earning the win. The Rats are now only one game behind the first-place Sugar Bears.
