Minor League Recap - 4/8

Jeff Marquez get clobbered in Scranton's 9-2 loss to the Louisville Bats last night. Reds phenom Jay Bruce hit his first home run of the season and added a triple. The bright spots? Jason Lane hit his 3rd home run and Heath Phillips extended his scoreless streak to 3.1 innings over 3 games.

The Trenton Thunder topped the Altoona Curve 3-2 behind the pitching of Jason Jones and a home run by Cody Ehlers.

The Tampa Yankees lost the finale of a 3-game series with the Sarasota Reds, 7-1. Starter Ivan Nova had a pretty good game, but the pen let it get out of hand. Mark Melancon gave up a 2-run home run in his 2 innings of work.

The Charleston River Dogs topped the Savannah Sand Gnats (that's the best they could come up with?). Zach McAllister tossed 5 shutout innings and Brandon Laird knocked in a pair of runs.

Kei Igawa makes his second start for Scranton tonight against Reds top prospect Homer Bailey.
