Philadelphia unveiled their "secret weapon", newly-acquired Kyle Kendrick, who stifled the Hitmen amidst a 16-2 beatdown. Kendrick had spent the entire season in AAA, mostly with Vancouver's affiliate in Tacoma, but finally got a chance to prove himself when Philly sent down youngster Yovani Gallardo. Chris Young drove in 4 runs and Magglio Ordonez and Mike Lamb each drove in 3 to power the Animals' offense.
Newark's 9-game winning streak came to the end as the Rat Pack evened their series with a 3-2 win yesterday. Tim Lincecum outdueled James Shields to pick up the W. Jim Thome was 3-4 against his former team and Chone Figgins, in his first game off the DL hit a 2-run homer. The Sugar Bear's lead fell back to one game.
Vancouver was crushed by former teammate Prince Fielder, who smashed two home runs and was 3-3 with 4 RBIs. Blue Ridge cruised to an easy 9-2 win.
Hoboken gave Joel Pineiro his final release yesterday - at least until the next injury occurs. Aaron Cook was activated from the disabled list and Pineiro was seen crying as he left the team clubhouse. "I really thought this time they'd change their minds" said a sobbing Pineiro. "They'll be sorry though. They'll call me back!"
