Louisville won 10-6 . Wes Bankston went 4-5 with his 17th HR of the year, Juan Francisco went 2-4 with a walk (!!), and Lew Ford started making his case to be on the 25 man roster next year by going 2-4 with his first homer. 23 year old groundball machine Enerio Del Rosario pitched 2 1/3 shutout innings. His ERA is 1.19 through 22 2/3 AAA innings. Carolina was off Sarasota was shut out 7-0 . Justin...

I'm gonna make this short and sweet. Keeping it light on the scores today, and highlighting the big action in the system, with so many of them. Louisville clinched the IL West over the weekend. On Friday, Chris Valaika was 4-for-5, Chris Heisey was 3-for-4 with a HR, and Juan Francisco hit two homers and a double. Tom Cochran made his Bats debut. Travis Wood gave up 4 runs in 6 innings on Saturday,...

Louisville lost 10-9 to Lehigh Valley in 10 innings. After scoring in the 9th to take a 9-8 lead, the Bats gave up runs in the 9th and 10th, the latter coming off of an error by pitcher Sean Watson . Matt Maloney was not good in his start, giving up 6 runs in 5 innings, and Logan Ondrusek allowed a solo shot in the 9th, his first run as a Bat. Chris Heisey and Wes Bankston both had 2 hits, a homer,...

Stubbs Louisville won 8-4 against Charlotte in an awesome start by Sam Lecure . LeCure gave up 3 runs in 6 innings of work, but struck out 11, a season high. Despite "not being ready for the big leagues", Drew Stubbs was 3-for-4 with 3 runs scored and 2 RBI. Oh yeah, and he stole his 42nd base of the year, which is twice as many as Willy Taveras . Wes Bankston was 3-for-5 with 2 RBI and Chris...

(Observer News Services) The Louisville Bats defeated the Charlotte Knights 8-4 Monday, paced by an overall solid offensive night and a strong starting pitching performance. Drew Stubbs and Wes Bankston were the stars on offense with Stubbs going 3-for-4 with a walk and two RBIs. Bankston went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBIs. Sam LeCure (9-5, 4.14 ERA) survived early trouble to win in six innings....

Wells Louisville beat Syracuse 5-4 . Sam Lecure started the game, and gave up 3 runs in 4 innings. Not sure why he was lifted, more on that as I found out more. Kip Wells was exceptional in relief, pitching 4 innings of 1-run ball, striking out 6 and getting the win. Josh Roenicke pitched a scorless 9th for his 12th save. The offense wasn't spectacular, with Luis Bolivar and Wes Bankston with 2 hits...

Stewart Louisville won 5-2 over Buffalo behind a solid pitching performance by Matt Maloney . Maloney went 7 innings and gave up 2 runs and 2 hits while striking out 6. Zach Stewart pitched two scoreless innings in relief to get the save. That's 9 2/3 innings in Louisville so far without giving up an earned run, and he hasn't given one up since June 24th, when he was a Mudcat. In his 89 total innings...

As you may know, the Reds had two players selected to play in the Futures Game in St. Louis yesterday, Chris Heisey from Louisville for the US team and J.C. Sulbaran out of Dayton for the World team (he's from Curacao). Heisey started the game in LF and batted 6th (between Pedro Alvarez and Tyler Flowers , no less), and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Bummer. On the other hand, Sulbaran pitched the...

Louisville lost to Norfolk 5-1 , as the Bats offense couldn't get past a 4-run first by the Tides. Kevin Barker hit his 8th HR of the season, and Wes Bankston had two hits for the Bats. Of course, on the day where I clamor for him to get called up to the big leagues, Drew Sutton goes 0-for-3 with a golden sombrero. Another guy who should be called up, Drew Stubbs , went 1-for-5, but stole his 23rd...

We're a little late today, but here's what happened in last night's games: Heisey Louisville beat Lehigh Valley 7-4 on a really strong outing by Sam Lecure . LeCure gave up 2 runs on 3 hits in 8 solid innings, and struck out 5 IronPig hitters. You can hear more from LeCure and manager Rick Sweet in this article that some boob wrote . It really seems like LeCure could be back on track to start putting...

Henry Louisville finally lost, 7-3 to Pawtucket . Although he struck out 7, Sam Lecure was not the the cure for anything, giving up 5 runs (3 earned) in 5 innings. Wes Bankston hit his 9th HR of the season, and Danny Richar was 2-for-4 with a double. Up next: No scheduled starter for the Bats as they take on the PawSox again, but Ramon Ramirez should make the start at 7:05. Denove Carolina dismantled...

The past few days, we've been wondering why the Reds suddenly released pitcher Justin Mallett off of their AA team in Carolina on Friday. Well, wonder no further. According to ESPN , Mallett tested positive for a "drug of abuse", and has been suspended for 100 games (its his second offense). He isn't much use to the Reds right now, and you have to think that his career may be over, as his...
