John Ellis<\/strong> drove in 5 runs with 4 hits and 2 homeruns, leading the Spiders to a 10-3 victory over Houston. Stan Coveleski<\/strong> threw 7 solid innings, improving his record to 4-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hardie Henderson<\/strong> was sent to AAA to make room for Bill Steen<\/strong>‘s return from injury. Despite a good recent start, Bob Feller<\/strong> moved to the bullpen, with Steen stepping back into the rotation. Rowland Office<\/strong>–he of the very early season heroics–was sent down as well, with Evan Longoria<\/strong> coming back to Cleveland. Larry Doby<\/strong> remains on the roster, but will see his playing time decrease significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Homestead shook up its pitching staff, demoting Frank Linzy<\/strong> and Billy Pierce<\/strong> to AAA, naming Stan Bahnsen<\/strong> as their #5 starter, and moving Michael Jackson<\/strong> into the closer role. Babe Adams<\/strong> and Cliff Lee<\/strong> were recalled. Peaches Graham<\/strong> was demoted to AAA, with Rick Ferrell<\/strong> being recalled and Jim Hegan<\/strong> released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Down a run in the top of the 9th and facing Miami’s Aroldis Chapman<\/strong>, things looked bleak for the ABC’s. But consecutive pinch hits from Dave Henderson<\/strong> and Johnny Bench<\/strong> tied the game and Oscar Charleston<\/strong> delivered the go-ahead run with a clean single to center. The comeback vindicated a strong start from David Price<\/strong>, who allowed 4 hits and 2 runs in 8 innings, moving to 2-4 on the year. Rob Dibble<\/strong> picked up his 9th save with a perfect bottom of the 9th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Doc White<\/strong> has replaced Red Faber<\/strong> in the starting rotation for Indianapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steve Carlton<\/strong> heads to the DL after being pulled having only thrown 2 innings against Memphis. He’ll miss 2 starts, at least. Fred Talbot<\/strong> was recalled from AAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bob McClure<\/strong> was returned to AAA as the Stars continue to struggle to find both a couple more starters and a bridge to the excellent back end of their bullpen. In the meantime, John Montgomery Ward<\/strong> returns to the rotation, and Jack Easton<\/strong> was recalled. The Stars would be willing to ship Bill Dickey<\/strong>, Jimmy Rollins<\/strong>, and Mickey Doolin<\/strong> to AAA, but there just aren’t enough options. Dickey was moved down (making the preseason trade of, essentially, him for Mike Schmidt<\/strong>, look like a total fleecing), with Mike Scioscia<\/strong> moving up to the majors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" #Cleveland Spiders John Ellis drove in 5 runs with 4 hits and 2 homeruns, leading the Spiders to a 10-3 victory over Houston.
