FRIDAY, JUNE 8

• Indians lefthander Chuck Lofgren’s spot start for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday didn’t go so well as the 21-year-old allowed six runs on seven hits over five innings. Lofgren struck out seven and walked three.

• Double-A Erie second baseman Michael Hollimon went 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles—both off Blue Jays righthander Jesse Litsch in the Seawolves’ 8-4 loss to New Hampshire. It was Litsch’s worst outing of the season but he still earned win No. 6, allowing four runs on 11 hits over 5 1/3 innings.

• Double-A Mississippi outfielder Brandon Jones went 3-for-5 and hit his 10th home run of the year in the M-Braves’ 12-3 win against Birmingham.

• Double-A Mobile outfielder Carlos Gonzalez homered twice and Justin Upton added his eighth home run since being called up from high Class A Visalia in the BayBears’ 10-3 win against Montgomery. Biscuits righthander Chris Mason left after just three innings after allowing six runs on five hits and walking three.

• High Class A Kinston catcher/outfielder Chris Gimenez hit home runs No. 13 and 14 in the Indians’ 21-6 win against Myrtle Beach.

• Low Class A Kannapolis righthander Faustino De Los Santos struck out 10 over six innings, but allowed four runs on five hits and took the loss in Greensboro’s 11-3 win against the Intimidators.

• The low Class A Asheville middle infield is one of the most dynamic in the minors, and shortstop Hector Gomez and second baseman Daniel Mayora combined for six RBIs in the Tourists’ 10-3 win against Hickory. Mayora homered twice.

SATURDAY, JUNE 9

• Triple-A Tacoma catcher Jeff Clement is beginning to heat up. Clement went 3-for-4 with a pair of homers and drove in four during the Rainiers’ 11-8 loss to Colorado Springs.

• Mets infielder Jake Gautreau had a career night at the plate in Triple-A New Orleans’ 19-4 win against Iowa. Gautreau went 6-for-7 with four doubles, a home run and drove in eight. The Zephyrs’ 19 runs and 25 hits both set franchise highs for the club.

• Red Sox righthander Michael Bowden got lit up in Double-A Portland’s 10-4 loss to Akron. Bowden allowed eight runs on 10 hits over three innings.

• Indians righthander Sung-Wei Tseng was activated off the extended spring training roster and allowed two runs on five hits over five innings in high Class A Kinston’s 5-2 win against Myrtle Beach.

• Nice night at the plate, but in the field . . . not so much. High Class A Brevard County catcher Angel Salome went 4-for-4 with three doubles, but Lakeland ran wild for eight steals in the Manatees’ 5-3 win.

• Brewers righthander Jeremy Jeffress remained unbeaten at low Class A West Virginia, tossing five shutout innings in the Power’s 10-0 win against Lexington. The 2006 first-rounder allowed four hits, struck out three and walked two. On the season, Jeffress is 2-0, 1.98 in 14 innings.

• Low Class A Greensboro catcher Adam Howard went 3-for-5 with three home runs and drove in five in the Grasshoppers’ 18-6 win against Kannapolis.
