The Bats continued their nice run with their fourth straight win.  Aaron Herr went one for two with three walks with two runs.  Ryan Jorgensen went one for four with two RBIs in the 6-5 win.

Steven Kelly picked up the win although he was more in the right place at the right time.  He gave up three runs in three innings and it was his first win of the season.

The Bats lost to the Bulls 4-3 and Steven Kelly dropped to 0-4 on the season with a rough start.  He gave up four runs on eight hits with two strikeouts in five innings.

Christopher Dickerson was the hitting star in the loss.  He went three for four with a double and an RBI.  Josh Hamilton singled and drew a walk in his final rehab start and Joey Votto doubled and scored a run.

Steven Kelly gave up a solo homerun in the bottom of the tenth inning as the Bats lost to the Bulls 5-4.  Tom Shearn had a mediocre start and he gave up three runs on three hits and five walks with five strikeouts in five innings.

Jeff Keppinger went one for five but he drove in two runs.  Joey Votto had another nice game and he went three for four with two RBIs. He’s not hitting .321 on the season and he sports an impressive .942 OPS.  This kid should be in the bigs but the Reds locked up Scott Hatteberg so there’s no room for him, at least at the moment.

The Bats lost both of their games by a single in a doubleheader with the Mud Hens.  The first game saw the Bats get shutout on just one hit and a pretty good start by Steven Kelly went to waste.  He gave up one run on one hit and three walks with three strikeouts in six innings.

In the second game, the Bats managed three runs but the pitchers gave up four.  Richie Gardner gave up three runs in six innings while Wes Wilkerson gave up the deciding run in the bottom of the seventh.  Joey Votto had his hands in two runs of the runs.  He singled home a run and then later scored in the inning.

Jason Kershner gave up a solo shot in the twelth inning in the Bats 7-6 loss to the Syracuse Chiefs.  Steve Kelly was also hit hard in his start and he gave up five runs on eight hits and three walks in just four innings.

Christopher Dickerson hit two run homer in the eighth inning to help push the game into extra frames.  Aaron Herr finished with three hits and he drove in a run.

Louisville lost a tough one tonight as they blew a 2-0 lead and then eventually lost the game in eleven innings.  Tom Shearn threw five shutout innings but Wes Wilkerson gave up two runs to tie it and then Steven Kelly lost in the eleventh.

Dewayne Wise had a solid game at the plate.  He went two for four with a double and a run.

This was an ugly game.  Tom Shearn was hit hard in his start and Steven Kelly was even worse in relief.  Shearn gave up five runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts in four innings of worse.  Kelly was knocked around for nine runs (six earned) on seven hits and four walks in just two innings.

Tyrell Godwin pretty much was the Bats offense. He drove in both runs and he singled twice.
