by @ 4:53 pm. Filed under Chris Lambert, Don Kelly, Mike Hessman, Toledo Mud Hens - August 2009

by @ 7:02 pm. Filed under Brent Clevlen, Chris Lambert, Don Kelly, Jeff Frazier, Toledo Mud Hens - July 2009

It’s like the Mud Hens saved it all up for one game.  They scored 18 runs on 24 hits including a 10 run third inning as they demolished the Chiefs 18-1.  Jeff Frazier went four for six with a home run, six RBIs and two runs.  Brent Clevlen had three home runs, all of which were solo shots, and Don Kelly went four for six with two doubles, two runs and an RBI.

Lost in all of the offense was a solid start by Chris Lambert.  He improved to 5-7 and he gave up just a run on seven hits without a walk and he struck out six in eight innings.

Hens Shutout Twice By Buffalo

by @ 5:29 pm. Filed under Brent Dlugach, Chris Lambert, Don Kelly, Max St. Pierre, Scot Drucker, Toledo Mud Hens - July 2009

The good news is, Hens pitchers gave up just three runs over fourteen innings.  The bad news is, the Hens couldn’t manage a single run in a pair of losses to Buffalo.  In game one, a solid start by Chris Lambert went to waste.  He gave up one run on four hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings but he still fell to 4-7.  Don Kelly and Brent Dlugach singled and that was it.

In game two, the Hens managed seven hits but still couldn’t score.  Don Kelly and Max St. Pierre had two singled each in the 2-0 loss.  Scot Drucker fell to 7-3 and he gave up two runs on four hits with two strikeouts in five innings.

Hens Held to One Run In Loss to Columbus

by @ 5:52 pm. Filed under Chris Lambert, Josh Rainwater, Toledo Mud Hens - July 2009, Wilkin Ramirez

A solid start by Chris Lambert went to waste in the Hens 8-1 loss to Columbus.  He gave up a run on seven hits and a walk with two strikeouts in six innings.  Josh Rainwater made his Toledo debut and he fell to 0-1.  He gave up three runs on three hits and two walks with a strikeout in 1 2/3 innings.

The Hens couldn’t get much done at the plate and what’s funny is the Clippers have some of the best pieces of the 2007 Indians team that almost made the World Series.  Both Fausto Carmona and Rafael Betancourt threw in this game.  Wilkin Ramirez was able to get something done and he went three for three with a walk and a solo home run.

by @ 6:45 pm. Filed under Brent Dlugach, Chris Lambert, Mike Hessman, Ron Chiavacci, Toledo Mud Hens - June 2009
