Minor League Recap, 4/26

Written by Greg Fertel | 26 April 2008

• Phil Coke got the start and was ok. On one hand, he struck out 7 in 6 innings of 3 run ball. On the other hand, he allowed 11 hits and had a 5-6 GBO-FBO ratio.
• David Robertson allowed a run on one hit in his 3 2/3 innings of relief. He had 4 strikeouts, and the run came in the top of the 10th during DR's last inning of work. Robertson was taken out after allowing a groundball single with 2 outs in that 10th inning. Eric Wordekemper then proceeded to allow 2 straight hits, which as a result goes against Robertson in the box score. Robertson pitched brilliantly and it is a shame that Wordekemper had mess up his outing and Robertson's opportunity for a win as Trenton was able to tie the game in the bottom half of the inning.
• Mike Gardner took the loss as he allowed 3 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks in 1 2/3 innings of work.
• Austin Jackson and Matt Carson each were 2 for 6. AJax had a double and swiped his 5th bag of the season.
• Ramiro Pena and Reegie Corona each were 0 for 5.
• Jose Tabata was 0 for 3. JT is now batting an even .200.
• Cody Ethlers and Chris Malec each had a hit in their at-bats. Cody's hit was a 2 run-homerun back in the first inning.
• Kevin Russo was 2 for 5 with a walk.

• Ryan Pope got the start and was absolutely shelled. In 4 1/3 innings, he allowed 8 runs (5 earned) on 8 hits and 3 walks, striking out only 1 in the process. Despite the terrible performance, he had a 10-4 GBO-FBO ratio. His ERA is now 3.47 for the season.
• Jose Valdez picked up the win as he struck out a batter in his scoreless inning of relief.
• Eduardo Nunez, Damon Sublett, and Tim Battle each went 2 for 5. Damon had a double, Tim had a triple, and Eduardo had a homerun. Sublett also drew two walks.
