Good test for Lively tonight in Pawtucket agains the Pawsox. Anderson, Irvin, and Suarez are also solid starters.

Good news on Darick Hall--he rolled his ankle when they sent him down--they were using the WMPT roster instead of the DL because they thought he might be ready in less than 7 days. They're saying he might be back after the weekend.

Early results show CLW again being the only team able to stretch out a lead against its competitors, and LV once again trailing badly.

CLW wins, LV loses, Lakewood with a late 8-0 lead, and Reading had a 3-1 lead behind Kingery's HR, but now trails 5-3 late. LV was 2-hit.

Holy Brito. 3 homers already this year with a .390 BA. Won't take much more to start working his way into the top 100. I completely forgot about Jose Antequera. Pretty crazy low level infield depth that he's just hanging around waiting for something to do.

Is there a report on Gamboa's status? I know he was DL'd but I did not see the reason and the injury was not obvious (to me at least) watching him come out to the first base line as he was introduced before the game last night.

Lehigh Valley isn't hitting much against anyone, but they are really not hitting against LHP.

[allentown]

The combined results for Allentown and Reading offense show 7 hits against 29 Ks. Wow! Allentown by far the worse of the two with only 2 hits to set against 16 Ks. This was a team I expected to have a superior offense.
