Righting the Ship
It’s almost half way through June and the Sky Sox are tied with Salt Lake for first in the Pacific North Divison. That’s good new for Sox fans, but the team has been going through a bit of a rough patch recently especially compared to the way the team has played for most of the season. Coming into tonight, the Sox have lost three of their last four and six of their last nine. So the team is looking to right the ship and get back on the winning course in the last four games of this series with Las Vegas before they head on the road for a very long 11-game, 12-day road trip.
Here’s the lineup that Stu Cole will be putting out there tonight to turn things around:
Eric Young Jr. – 2B
Mike McCoy – SS
Matt Miller – LF
Matt Murton – RF
Dan Ortmeier – 1B
Edwin Bellorin – C
Mark Bellhorn – DH
Christian Colonel – 3B
Chris Frey – CF
Alan Johnson – SP
Catcher Edwin Bellorin makes his return to the lineup tonight after being promoted up to the Rockies while Yorvit Torrealba was away on personal leave. With the Rockies, Bellorin hit .333 (2-for-8) with a run scored in two games.
Other news of the day involves reliever Franklin Nunez. Nunez, who’s been out of commission since May 15, threw a simulated game today at 3:20 PM and looked good. He’ll be evaluated today and his future schedule will determined after that.
Major League Rehabs
Joining the Sky Sox today on a Major League rehab assignment is catcher Chris Iannetta. Iannetta becomes the fourth ML rehab player on the Sox roster along with Franklin Morales, Matt Daley and Ryan Speier.
In other roster news, catcher Edwin Bellorin was called up by the Rockies today to take the place of Yorvit Torreabla who has gone home for personal reasons. To replace Bellorin on the roster, the Rockies transfered catcher Austin Rauch from Extended Spring to the Sky Sox. Rauch has not played above Rookie level ball so far in his career having played for Tri-City last year and Casper the two years prior to that. Last season, Rauch hit .200 with four homers and 17 RBI in 49 games.
Here’s Stu Cole’s lineup for tonight’s match-up with the Fresno Grizzlies:
Eric Young Jr. – 2B
Mike McCoy – RF
Kenny Perez – 3B
Matt Miller – LF
Chris Iannetta – C
Mark Bellhorn – 1B
Chris Frey – CF
Jonathan Herrera – SS
Brandon Hynick – SP
A few notes on the lineup today: Carlos Gonzalez is not in the lineup after hitting a ball off his right shin during last night’s game. Gonzalez left the game after popping out later in the at-bat, after hitting a homer and driving in four on the night, but the injury is not serious and he should be back in the lineup soon. With his four RBIs last night, Gonzalez now leads all of baseball with 59 RBIs. Evan Longoria leads the Majors with 55 RBIs.
Starting pitcher Brandon Hynick will be batting ninth in the lineup today as the two National League affiliated teams square off. Normally the pitcher’s spot in the lineup is an easy out but not with Hynick in the there. On the year, Hynick is hitting .417 (5-for-12) with a homer, three doubles and three RBIs. Opposing pitcher Matt Kinney should not take Hynick lightly.
