Brad Brach-RP: 1.1 IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, K
Notes: Matt Andriese has now lost his past 5 decisions with the T-Pads. Andriese didn’t pitch exceedingly well in this game, but he certainly didn’t pitch poorly; a 2-run homer tarnished what was otherwise a very good start. There was nothing positive offensively tonight. The T-Pads totaled 3 hits, all of which were singles.

Jeremy McBryde-RP: 1.0 IP, H, 0R, 0BB, 2K (S, 10)
Notes: With a 3 RBI night, Rocky Gale was clearly the offensive hero in this contest. Donn Roach enjoyed one of his better starts tonight. Roach hasn’t had a great season, but he’s coming off of a great July in which he posted a 1.98 ERA over 5 starts. Roach’s problem is that he has been unable to string together quality starts. He’ll be hot for 2 or 3 starts and then allow 5 runs on 6 innings.
Lake Elsinore Storm 13, Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 5
Travis Jankowski-CF: 3-6, 2B, 3RBI, Run scored
Kyle Gaedele-RF: 0-5, BB, 3K, 2 Runs scored

Duanel Jones-3B: 3-5, 2 2B, RBI, K, 2 Runs scored
Johnny Barbato-SP: 4.0 IP, 6H, 2ER, 2BB, K
Notes: Following tonight’s stellar game, Jeremy Baltz has 10 RBI over his last 6 games. Baltz’s RBI total with Lake Elsinore has now eclipsed his RBI total with Fort Wayne; in 160 AB’s with the Storm he has 34 RBI and in 168 AB’s with the TinCaps he had 33 RBI. Dane Phillips, who was recently promoted, has hit safely in all 4 games he’s played in with the Storm. Johnny Barbato made his second start of the year, and fared much better. He threw twice as many innings and allowed half as many runs from his first start.

Max Fried-SP: 6.0 IP, 5H, 0R, 2BB, K (W, 5-5)
Notes: Make it two scoreless starts in a row for Max Fried. Fried’s last two starts have been nearly identical; in both starts he went 6 IP, 5H, 0R, 2BB. Fried only has 5 strikeouts over that span, but he’s lowered his ERA to 3.46, and he has 86 strikeouts over 96.1 innings pitched.
