Brooklyn Royal Giants
The news on Nap Rucker‘s DL stint could have been worse, with the hurler due to miss about 5 weeks. Pedro Guerrero will be out about the same length of time, maybe a little longer, with Jim Gentile being recalled from AAA Queens, where he hit .311 with 47 homeruns last year.
Fernando Valenzuela struck out 10 in 6 innings at Homestead for his first win of the season, a welcome change from the misery of his debut performances on the season.
Homestead Grays
The very promising Tim Lincecum has begun a rehab assignment after a long-term injury.
Ottawa Mounties
Old Hoss Radbourn, Kevin Gross, Ryan Dempster and Billy Koch combined to 1-hit Philadelphia in a game that spanned 2 days due to a rain delay, with the Mounties winning 7-0. Álex Rodríguez hit 2 out in that game and did it again the next day.
Dupee Shaw was injured, with Gary Peters being recalled.
Philadelphia Stars
Bullet Joe Rogan hit 2 homeruns in a 5-3 win at the House of David, then did it again few days later. That’s 9 on the season for the unique 2-way talent.
