Keeping with our pitching theme, the three farm teams in action last night all enjoyed stellar starting pitching outings that contributed to eventual wins. Scott Mathieson, J.A. Happ, and Kyle Kendrick combined to put up a line that looks a little something like this:

22 IP 11 H 1 ER 3 BB 27 K

Not bad at all...

AAA Scranton-WB

OFF

AA Reading

• Michael Bourn: 2-4, 2B, 3B, 2 R, BB
• Tim Moss: 1-3, RBI, BB, K
• Jason Jaramillo: 1-5, 2B, R, 2 K
• Bryan Hansen: 1-4, 2 RBI

High A Clearwater

• Brad Harman: 1-3, R, RBI

• J.A. Happ (W, 1-1): 7 IP 3 H 0 ER 0 BB 7 K

Happ got 7 of his 21 outs on strikeouts, 11 on ground outs, and only 3 on fly outs - tremendous game for the young lefthander.
