Series Notes
-Chavez may still be headed to the DL retroactively
-Witasick and Kennedy are both on rehab assignments at AAA Sacramento
-No word on Harden's "2nd opinion"
-Thomas left Sunday's game feeling ill
-Flores is supposedly going to be sent down to make room for Windsor, but if Chavez goes on the DL, then no one would need to be sent down necessarily

Loaiza vs Ortiz = slugfest.

[Providence A's]

Flores was sent down as was expected. Windsor called up to start tonight. To make room for Windsor on the 40 man, Dougie Clark was DFA...

Chavez, Bradley, and Thomas are back in the lineup tonight. Perez, Kotsay, Scutaro, and Melhuse are out.

[Providence A's]

3 - 0 O's in the 4th...only 1 run earned...Windsor made the error with 2 outs that allowed 1 run to score and then a single knocked in the 2nd unearned run. He got a weak grounder from Miggy and promptly threw it over Swisher's head.

[A'sDiehard]

Great, Kendall is up WRISP.

[A'sDiehard]

Now Kendall is behind in the count to a guy that is.......check that, he struck out off a guy that walked 4 in the inning.

[Providence A's]

hey, we got 2 back...I'll take it for now...3 - 2 O's after 4. Windsor is looking better now...he looks like he has a presence on the mound.

[Providence A's]

this guy is friggin' wild...6 walks and he's hit Swisher twice (since he's been wild I doubt it's on purpose).

[Providence A's]

the kid strikes out Mora and Tejada to end the inning. We'd be winning were it not for his error. 3 - 2 after 5. O's going to the pen.

[A'sDiehard]

Strange game so far.

[Providence A's]

that's a designed play out of little league lol...1st and 3rd...runner on 1st breaks to draw the throw and get in a run down...runner on third breaks...we got lucky Bradley was safe, but it wouldn't matter as the idea is to get the runner home, which we did.

3 - 3 after 6. Windsor went 5 good innings minus the error. 3 walks and 3 k's...only 3 hits. Saarloos with a 1-2-3 6th.

[A'sDiehard]

*ugh* Leadoff double and nothing.

[Providence A's]

well, we're down 4 - 3 now...good news is Seattle is losing and Texas is getting spanked...Angels play later.

edit: 5 - 3 now....

[A'sDiehard]

Saarloos is pouring it right over the middle of the plate.

[Providence A's]

that's why he's not in the rotation I guess...5 - 3 after 7.
