Tonight’s David Price – Matt Wieters matchup was rained out. For shame.
Triple-A Scranton (2-1 win over Lehigh Valley in 11 innings)
Kevin Russo: 3 for 5, 2 2B, 1 SB – I wouldn’t be completely shocked if he was the big league utility infielder in the second half
J-Rod: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 K
Todd Linden: 0 for 5
Shelley Duncan & Juan Miranda: both 1 for 5, 1 K – Shelley drove in a run … Miranda doubled & drove in a run

Angel Berroa: 1 for 4, 1 RBI
Chris Stewart: 0 for 4, 1 K
Ian Kennedy: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 11 K, 2-5 GB/FB – 68 of 86 pitches were strikes (79.1%) … 11 K ties a career high
David Robertson: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 2-5 GB/FB – 27 of 39 pitches were strikes (69.2%) … most dominant pitcher in the system over the last two years is at it again
Brett Tomko: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K3-0 GB/FB – 21 of 35 pitches were strikes (60%) … allowed two hits in the top of the 9th, but he escaped without allowing a run
