Kevin Russo & Colin Curtis: 2 for 4, 1 K – Russo doubled, was caught stealing & missed a catch at second for an error … Curtis homered, drove in three & K’ed

George Kontos: 3 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 5-3 GB/FB – 33 of 62 pitches were strikes (53.2%) … first start in 13 games because of all the rain outs, so chalk this one up to rust

Anthony Claggett: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1-0 GB/FB – 14 of 22 pitches were strikes (63.6%)
Mark Melancon: 1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HB, 1 WP, 1-2 GB/FB – 15 of 24 pitches were strikes (62.5%) … heh, that’s on odd line … he hit the first batter, got the second guy to fly out, the runner moved to second on Russo’s error, moved to second on a ground out, then scored on a wild pitch
