Sunday Quick Hits



Marlins’ righthander Chris Volstad was expected to make his Double-A debut Sunday, after going 8-9, 4.50 in 126 innings at high Class A Jupiter.

Volstad, Florida’s first-round pick in 2005 and No. 1 prospect overall, was called up to Carolina late Saturday and was scheduled to take the mound for the Mudcats against Jacksonville.

• Tigers’ righthander Yorman Bazardo pitched a nine-inning complete game in Triple-A Toledo’s 4-1 win against Richmond. Bazardo allowed an unearned run on four hits, struck out four and walked two and improved to 8-5, 3.93 in 110 innings for the Mud Hens.

• Yankees righthander Ian Kennedy made his Triple-A debut for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, and he did not disappoint. The 2006 first-round pick tossed six shutout innings, allowing just two hits, in the Yankees’ 3-0 loss to Rochester.

• Phillies lefthander Josh Outman made his Double-A debut for Reading, allowing four runs on as many hits and walking six in the R-Phils’ 9-3 loss to Trenton. Outman, who went 10-4, 2.45 with 117 strikeouts in 117 innings at high Class A Clearwater, was promoted last week.

• Devil Rays righthander Wade Davis visited the loss column for the first time all season, mainly because Double-A Montgomery provided him with no run support in the Biscuits’ 2-0 loss to Birmingham. Davis allowed two runs on four hits over 6 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out seven. Combined between high Class A Vero Beach and Montgomery this season, Davis is now 7-1, 1.98 with a 137-38 strikeout-walk ratio in 127 innings.

• Three Double-A Tulsa arms combined for a one-hitter in the Drillers’ 4-1 win against Arkansas. Righthander Ching-Lung Lo allowed a run on one hit—by Travs’ center fielder Bradley Coon—walked five and struck out four over seven innings. Relievers Jarrett Grube and Steven Register were perfect through the eighth and ninth innings to complete the one-hitter. Register picked up his 30th save of the season.

• High Class A Myrtle Beach’s 9-8 win against Lynchburg lasted 15 innings, but Pelicans’ third baseman Eric Campbell had the best line of the night. Campbell went 3-for-7 with a pair of home runs, and is now hitting .223/.299/.400 with 13 homers and 42 RBIs in 265 at-bats.

I lke Wade Davis a lot, but I’ll be more interested to see how he pitches down the stretch, his numbers in AA haven’t been as dominating.
