Effa Manley Division | 12 August<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

#Brooklyn Royal Giants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Frank Knauss<\/strong> fanned 12, combining with Trevor Hildenberger<\/strong> on a 4 hit shutout of Indianapolis, with Brooklyn winning 4-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Royal Giants had a very quiet trade deadline, but they did commit to Vern Stephens<\/strong> at SS, sending Germany Smith<\/strong> to AAA to make room for OF George Hendrick<\/strong>, who came over from Philadelphia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Homestead Grays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Doug Drabek<\/strong> was recalled from his rehab assignment as Cliff Lee<\/strong> started one. Drabek regained his spot in the rotation, with Moose Haas<\/strong> heading back to AAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy Van Slyke<\/strong> homered twice in a losing cause, as the Grays fell to Birmingham, 8-5, then Nap Lajoie<\/strong> duplicated the feat as the Grays fell to the Black Barons again, this time 6-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Rick Reichardt<\/strong> broke the pattern, hitting his 2 homeruns in a Homestead win, 10-6 over Ottawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary Lucas<\/strong>, Rick Ownbey<\/strong>, and Ray Brown<\/strong> were all sent to AAA to make room for newcomers Juan Marichal<\/strong>, Robb Nen<\/strong>, and David Price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marichal’s first start was a disaster, but the Grays fought back, and Nen got the win with 2 scoreless innings in an 11-10 victory over Ottawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#New York Gothams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pete Donohue<\/strong> was returned to AAA, clearing the way for Carson Smith<\/strong>‘s return from injury. The Gothams moved a lot of their staff at the trade deadline, replacing them with FA Kent Tekulve<\/strong> and promoting Donohue, Rube Waddell<\/strong>, and newly acquired Dellin Betances<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were nearly as active with their field players, sending Terry Turner<\/strong> and J0-Jo Moore<\/strong> down and making room for Robby Thompson<\/strong> and Davey Johnson<\/strong> while promoting Matt Williams<\/strong> and George Van Haltren<\/strong> to the big league club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Ottawa Mounties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carlos Beltr\u00e1n<\/strong> hit 2 out, reaching 30 on the year, but Ottawa fell to the New York Gothams, 14-8. This staff is so awful in some games: \u00c1lex Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong> hit 2 out in another loss as the bullpen gave up a 9 run lead with the Mounties falling to Homestead 11-10 in 11 innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#Philadelphia Stars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aaron Judge<\/strong> hit 2 out of the park, reaching 40 dingers on the season, as the Stars topped the House of David, 5-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young Pete Alexander<\/strong> was sent to AAA to make room for newcomer Mark Melancon<\/strong> in the Stars’ bullpen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Rolen<\/strong> reached 30 dingers on the year, hitting 2 out in a 12-5 win over the New York Gothams. Bill Dickey<\/strong> duplicated Rolen’s feat, but this time the Stars fell to the Gothams, 5-4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
