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

Brooklyn recalled reliever Juan Mateo<\/strong> from his rehab assignment and pulled C Kelly Shoppach<\/strong> up from AA for the rest of the stretch drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan Brouthers<\/strong> will miss about a week, heading to the DL with Brooklyn recalling Jim Gentile<\/strong> from AAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duke Snider<\/strong> hit 2 homeruns as the Royal Giants doubled up the Stars, 8-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Bartolo Col\u00f3n<\/strong>–virtually unhittable over his first 25 innings in the WBL–has been named to Homestead’s rotation for the final weeks of the season. He turned heads immediately, fanning 10 in 6 shutout innings against the Gothams in a game the Grays would eventually lose in 11 innings, 4-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Minor league OF Hosken Powell<\/strong> retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willie Mays<\/strong> hit 2 out including a go ahead grandslam as the Gothams came from behind to top Homestead, 7-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Bryn Smith<\/strong>‘s year is likely done as the righty heads to the DL with a strained forearm. The Mounties recalled Bill Crouch<\/strong> from his rehab assignment to take Smith’s place on the roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emil Gross<\/strong> hit 2 homeruns, one of which a grand slam, but Ottawa fell to the House of David, 10-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Closer Bob Howry<\/strong> began a rehab assignment, likely to return to Philadelphia over the weekend. When promising hurler Bill Gatewood<\/strong> hit the DL with an oblique strain, the Stars went ahead and recalled Howry after a single AAA appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brad Kilby<\/strong>, reasonably effective all year as a late inning lefty, will miss a couple of weeks through injury. Pedro Feliciano<\/strong> will take Kilby’s role, with Tommy Hunter<\/strong> being promoted from AAA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
