Minor League Update: Rich Rundles in Triple-A All Star Game Tonight

Don’t forget the Triple-A All-Star Game is happening in Louisville tonight. Buffalo is represented by Rich Rundles. The Game starts at 7:00 P.M. and is on ESPN2.

Winston Salem beat up on Kinston last night. Jason Denham hit his fifth home run, but Sung-Wei Tseng, Neil Wagner, and Vinnie Pestano got knocked around. Niuman Romero was able to extend his hit-streak to 20 games though.

Romero was named Carolina League Player of the Week.

Brendan Donnelly made his first rehab apperance though and pitched a scoreless inning.

Overall a very sleepy day for the Minor League Teams.. If they weren’t on break they had an off-day. Not sure if that is by design or not.

Minor League Update: Mulhern to DL, Rincon Activated

The Bisons have activated new reliever Juan Rincon to counter the move of Ryan Mulhern going to the Disabled List.

The Indians fully believe that Rincon will be in their bullpen sometime this year. It’s just a matter of what he does at Buffalo and what they see needs to be fixed.

For the record, Armando Camacaro was placed on the DL as well, Yamid Haad who was on reserve after accepting the Triple A assignment was activated.

The Bisons swept the double header the other night. over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. Yesterday they won 7-5, and tonight they go for the four game sweep.

Akron keeps winning and Trevor Crowe keeps hitting. The guy went deep again yesterday and had two RBI.

Kinston wins as well and they have the best record in the Carolina League.

To prove so, Josh Tomlin and Jason Denham took home both CL awards for this past week.

Tomlin is the pitcher of the week, and Denham is the player of the week. Denham went 7-14 with six runs batted in

Josh Tomlin’s award is well deserved though, as he officially threw a one hit shutout. He only threw six innings because of rain, but it’s officially a complete game shutout.
