Triple-A Scranton
Game 1 (3-0 win over Columbus) makeup of yesterday’s rain out
Reegie Corona: 0 for 3
Austin Jackson, Justin Leone & Doug Bernier: all 0 for 2 – Ajax drew a walk … Leone K’ed
Todd Linden: 2 for 3, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI
Shelley Duncan: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K – he and Linden are like the Ortiz & Manny of AAA
John Rodriguez: 0 for 1, 1 K, 1 HBP – left the game after being hit by a pitch in the knee
Eric Duncan: 0 for 1, 1 BB
Chris Stewart: 1 for 2
Chien-Ming Wang: 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 12-8 GB/FB – 49 of 75 pitches were strikes (65.3%) … Chad Jennings takes you through the play-by-play … I think you give him at least one more start in AAA to stretch him out, then the problem is that his and Hughes’ starts don’t line up at all

Brian Bruney: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB – 12 of 17 pitches were strikes (70.6%) … call me crazy, but I think his return is more important to the immediate future of the team than Wang’s
