Written by Greg Fertel | 26 May 2008

• Jeff Karstens got the start, and was hit hard. In 3 2/3 innings, he gave up 6 runs on 7 hits (2 homers) and 3 walks, with 6 strikeouts.
• Steven White was less effective in his second bullpen outing, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits (2 homers) and 2 walks in 1 2/3 innings.
• JB Cox did his thing, pitching 1 1/3 perfect innings. He has still yet to give up a run in AAA since being promoted.
• Brett Gardner, back to the leadoff spot, was 0 for 4 with a walk.
• Justin Christian and Cody Ransom were each 1 for 4 with a double.
• Eric Duncan was 0 for 3 with a sac fly.
• Nick Green was 2 for 4.
• Bernie Castro was 1 for 3 with a double and a walk.

• Phil Coke got the start, and was very effective. In 7 innings, he gave up 2 runs (1 earned) on 8 hits and 2 walks, with 1 strikeout.
• Anthony Claggett pitched 2 shutout innings of relief, striking out 1 and allowing 3 hits. This lowered his ERA to 1.50 on the season.

• Jose Tabata was 2 for 5 to bring his average up to .236.
• Reegie Corona and Frank Muich were both 1 for 4.

• Dellin Betances was roughed up, giving up 8 runs (7 earned) on 8 hits (2 homers) and 2 walks, while striking out 3. There's not much good that can be said about this outing, other than the fact that he only walked 2.

• Chase Vacek pitched 2 shutout innings, giving up a hit and a walk, and striking out 1.

• Jesus Montero was 3 for 5 with a double to raise his average to .318, though he also struck out twice.
• Austin Romine was 1 for 5 with a triple, and is hitting .316 on the season.
• Brian Baisley was 2 for 3 with a walk.
• Carmen Angelini was 2 for 4 with 2 doubles to raise his average to .243. He is hitting .294 in his last 10 games, so maybe he is starting to get comfortable with the bat.
• Walter Ibarra was 2 for 4 with a 3-run double.
