Double A - Suns won 7-0

Xavier Paul - 3 for 5, 2 2B's, 2 RBI
Cory Dunlap - 0 for 4, RBI, BB, 2 K's
Anthony Raglani - 1 for 3, 2B, RBI, R, BB, K
Chin Lung Hu DNP

William Juarez - 7 IP, 5 Hits, 0 R, BB, 6 K's
Justin Orenduff - 2 IP, 2 Hits, 0 R, BB, 3 K's

Different day, same story. William Juarez was just as good in his second start as he was in his first, scattering 5 hits and a walk over 7 shutout innings, maintaining his 0.00 ERA. Juarez, who was acquired in the Shawn Green trade, worked mainly out of relief last season. Justin Orenduff finished the game with two more scoreless innings of his own. At the plate, Xavier Paul had a strong game hitting 2nd. Cory Dunlap drew yet another walk and Anthony Raglani doubled. Chin Lung Hu is still feeling the effects from the injury he sustained sliding into home yesterday. The Suns and the Diamond Jaxx go again tomorrow at 4pm.

High A - Inland Empire lost 2-1

Rafael Furcal - 1 for 2, BB, K, SB
Ivan DeJesus Jr - 0 for 3, R, BB, 2 K's
Blake DeWitt - 2 for 4, 2B
Lucas May - 0 for 4, 2 K's
Jamie Hoffman - 0 for 0, RBI, SF

Jesus Castillo - 6 IP, 5 Hits, ER, 0 BB, 6 K's

For the second straight game, the 66ers faced a rehabbing major leaguer. Jered Weaver shut down the Inland Empire for 7 innings. Right-hander Jesus Castillo pitched a fine game of his own, much better than his debut. At the plate, Rafael Furcal got on base a few times and stole a base, leading me to believe his ankle is healthy and he should be back in the bigs before long. Blake DeWitt had a nice game, though both May and DeJesus went hitless. The 66ers will finally face a minor league pitcher tomorrow at 7pm.
