7/3 Minor League Report! LUTZ, Pellot!

Buffalo 2, Rochester 6

Oliver Perez had a very mediocre rehab outing today, throwing 50% strikes and giving up 4 walks in 5 innings. Not numbers you want to see if you were hoping for Tiny Tim to be getting the boot. May I interest you in some Jonathan Joesph Niese?

Binghamton 3, New Hampshire 10

Michael Antonini's had longer relief outings. Seriously. He gave up 7 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks in 1.2 innings to take his 3rd loss of the season. The Mets were never in this game, after Antonini gave up 3 in the first and 4 in the 2nd.

The offense managed 7 hits and 5 runs, but were held to just 3 unearned runs, despite their .333 average with RISP (2 for 6), they left 8 on base and hit into 3 DPs.

St. Lucie 2, Sarasota 6

Scott Moviel's return to St. Lucie (he made 1 start there at the end of 2008) wasn't what he wanted, he gave up 4 hits and 3 runs in 5 innings to take the loss. Josh Stinson's return also didn't go well, he gave up 4 hits and 2 runs (1 earned) in 2 innings.
