SportsTicker with some love for Looie: INDIANAPOLIS (INT) LHP LUIS MARTINEZ worked eight shutout innings to extend his scoreless streak to 21 1/3 as the Indians blanked the Durham Bulls, 1-0. Martinez yielded just three hits, struck out 10 men and walked three, facing just two batters over the minimum. The 6-6 southpaw fanned the first three men he faced and stranded a runner at third to end the eighth inning, preserving the one-run cushion before exiting the game. In three starts with Indianapolis since a promotion from the Huntsville Stars of the Class AA Southern League, Martinez has yet to allow a run through 20 1/3 innings, striking out 23 men and earning the win in each outing. The 23-year-old Dominican gained the promotion with an 8-5 record and an ERA of 2.58 for Huntsville, holding opponents scoreless for 21 innings over his first four starts with the Stars earlier this season.

David Weiser's www.starsboxscore.com Huntsville Update: HART'S SHOT NOT ENOUGHAs if there isn't enough rivalry in this series, there was published in the Sunday morning's Birmingham News, an allegation by Barons manager Wally Backman that the Stars were stealing signs....... Backman's suspicions were based on the Stars' "unusual" success with runners on base in scoring position and with the bases loaded against his club......... Stars manager Frank Kremblas, of course, thought Backman's comments were unfounded and "ridiculous", "If Backman says anything about that at home plate tonight, I'm going to jump down his throat about it, " said Kremblas...... Pitcher Mike Jones said, "Even if we were... we're doing a poor job of it," referring to the lack of success in the series on the offensive side for the Stars, who were able to get just 21 hits over their last 4 games....... Kremblas also said that Saturday night's last at-bat by J.J. Hardy, in which he was hit in his final plate appearance in the 9th inning, was a purpose pitch....... Hardy, who was hit square on the ass, joked about it and said he wasn't upset about it. Despite all the uproar over Backman's statements, nothing happened in tonight's game. There was no beanball war. No dugout charges. No words at all. None were needed. Barons' right-hander Enemencio Pacheco spoke with his nasty slider........ Perhaps tempers were cooled off by an unusually long rain delay of 2 hours and 16 minutes. The Stars took an early first inning lead on a ground ball by Noochie Varner that scored Corey Hart. That carried over until the 4th....... In the meantime, there was some great defense by the Stars in the early innings. In the bottom of the 2nd with one out and Scott Bikowski on first, Carlos Maldonado hit a 2-0 pitch off his fists to shallow right. Noochie ran in, slid, and peeled the ball off the top of the grass to take a hit away from Maldonado. Bikowski was doubled up and put his hands on his hips in disbelief, believing it was short-hopped......... In the 3rd inning, with two aboard and one away, Chad Durham hit a 3-2 Ben Hendrickson pitch that looked like it would go over the head of Chris Barnwell for a hit. Stars radio voice Robert Portnoy called it such before Barney made an impossible trampoline-like leap to snare the ball and throw to first for a 4-3 double play......... Durham would throw that last dagger however, in the 9th. Danny Sandoval, leading off the Barons' 4th, tied it up at 1-1 with a home run high over Varner's leap in right field........ Not satisfied with that, Jeremy Reed singled sharply up the middle. Gabe Alvarez then hit a double that fell just a couple of feet fair inside the right field line, and traveled to the 340 mark. Alvarez would score on a 4-3 double play, but the Barons would take a 3-1 lead. They would produce an unearned run off Matt Parker in the 6th to make it 4-1. The Stars had Ryan Gripp at the plate in the 7th inning with two away, and Varner on first when the Barons gave away the Stars' 2nd run....... Gripp hit a Ryan Meaux 1-1 fast ball over the third base bag that was brought down by Josh Shaffer, who has made 25 errors in split time between third and shortstop. Shaffer's long looping throw was late. Alvarez's throw back across to get Varner was off-line allowing Varner to score........ Shaffer recovered the ball and threw it across the diamond and into the Barons' dugout for the 2nd error, allowing Gripp to go to third........ Mike Kremblas, who cut down two potential basestealers tonight, struck out to end the inning for the Stars, but the two-run deficit would not last for long. Ryan Meaux gave up a one-out bloop hit to Barnwell. Lefty Matt Smith was then called on to pitch to Corey Hart. Corey, behind 0-2 on the count, got a hold of a hanging breaking ball and hammered it high over the head of Josh Hamilton to tie the game, giving him a league-leading 82 RBIs on the season...... That brings us to the 9th. Mike Adams pitched out of trouble in the 8th after a throwing error by Hart, but he made his own trouble in the 9th after walking Josh Hamilton with one out......... Hamilton, in motion, would race over to third on a two-out bloop hit by Josh Shaffer........ Chad Durham, hitting .306 against the Stars with 10 RBIs, mostly as a leadoff hitter, hit a 2-1 breaking ball up the middle off the outstretched glove of Barnwell to win the game. Hendrickson threw 71 pitches in his four innings of work, throwing 49 for strikes (69%)........ The Stars come back home Monday to face Mobile, who just took three games of a five-game series with the Diamond Jaxx. Pedro Liriano (7-10, 3.07) will be the likely starter for the Stars. Cory Stewart (10-6, 3.35) will start for Mobile........ Ben Diggins will undergo Tommy John surgery on his elbow. His season is over and possibly next year's as well. Diggins made 8 starts for the Stars this season, going 3-2 with a 2.36 ERA........ Luis Martinez is picking up where he left off at Huntsville. He and former Star Jason Childers combined on a 3-hit, 1-0 shutout over the Durham Bulls, the first place team in the International League's South Division. Martinez struck out 10 in 8 innings.

High Desert Site Game Summary: Lancaster, CA ? Jay Garthwaite's second home run in as many nights gave the Lancaster JetHawks the lead for good, in a come-from-behind 8-4 victory over the High Desert Mavericks on Sunday night at the Hangar in Lancaster. The loss for the Mavs keeps them without a series win since early May, as Lancaster takes two of three over the weekend. Trailing 4-2 in the sixth, the JetHawks began to rally. Danny Richar's RBI single pulled them to within a run at 4-3. With men at first and third and two outs, Garthwaite homered to left field off Mavs reliever Danny Stout (1-1). His 18th homer of the year gave them a 6-4 lead. Garthwaite, who finished the day with a total of five RBIs, later added an RBI single against Mavs reliever Tony Stavros, in a two-run eighth inning. The Mavs jumped on top early, taking a 1-0 lead in the first as Chris Morris walked to lead off the frame, and later scored on Scott Candelaria's RBI groundout. Johnny Raburn walked to lead off the second, and after being sacrificed to second, scored on Ozzie Chavez's RBI single, giving the Mavs a 2-0 lead. Mavs starter Chad Petty had a great start, retiring the first six hitters he faced. He allowed a leadoff double to Mike DiRosa in the third but had a chance to get out of the inning untouched. With two outs, Petty walked three straight men, including Garthwaite to force in a run. Petty kept the lead though, as Steve Neal was retired on a ground ball to first, leaving the bases loaded. In the fourth, the Mavs capitalized on an error by Danny Richar, and upped the lead to 4-1 against winning pitcher Cliff McMachen (5-2). Raburn's RBI triple plated Froilan Villanueva for a 3-1 lead. Raburn then scored on Jeremy Frost's RBI groundout to make it 4-1. Petty struggled with his control again in the fourth. He allowed a run and then walked two more batters to load the bases. With two outs in the fourth, Stout was summoned out of the pen, and proceeded to get Dan Uggla to ground into a fielder's choice, which at the time protected a 4-2 lead. The Mavs only rally came with two outs in the ninth, as Brian Foster walked and Morris doubled down the left field line off JetHawks reliever Carlton Wells. Pete Sikaras came out of the pen, and got pinch hitter Todd West to pop up to end the game, earning Sikaras his 14th save of the year. The Mavs finish the 10-game road trip at 3-7 and finally return home to Mavericks Stadium on Monday. Rancho Cucamonga sends Steven Schell to the mound, while the Mavs counter with Chris Saenz (8-8) in game one of the four-game series. Game time at Mavericks Stadium is at 7:05 (9:05 Central) on Monday night.

I really think the Brewers would do no harm in bringing up Martinez to face Florida Friday. While Nick Neugebauer's arrival was totally botched by the Crew, you can't compare this potential call-up to that of David Pember, Ben Diggins, or Matt Childers last year. Luis has accomplished so much more this year, and what better time to bring him up than when his stuff and confidence are at all-time highs? This happens all the time, most often with top pitching prospects bypassing AAA altogether (see a certain pitcher named Dontrelle). Martinez has never been injured, he's 23, and he hasn't allowed a run in his three AAA starts. It's him or David Manning. Will this ruin Luis? Hardly. And no talk about service time, please. Looie on Friday -- book it.

Birmingham (White Sox) 5, Huntsville 4 Mike Adams lost it in the ninth after Corey Hart tied it with a clutch 2-run HR in the eighth

Final: Lancaster (Diamondbacks) 8, High Desert 4 The JetHawks got to reliever Danny Stout in the sixth inning, and Tony Stavros allowed two insurance runs in the eighth. Like their parent club, the Mavericks complete a 3-7 road trip. High Desert has not won a series in three months. Yeah, you read that right. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

You just know that Jones, Hendrickson, Liriano, et. al, are looking at this and thinking, "How tough can AAA be?" Luis Martinez' in three AAA starts: 20.1 IP, 16 H, 6 BB, 23 K, no earned runs, no runs at all And yes, we've mailed the dude at Baseball America with the Hot Prospect Sheet to remind him http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

In progress: Huntsville 1, Birmingham (White Sox) 0, after two innings After a very lengthy rain delay prior to the start of this one, the Stars and Barons are underway. If you're reading this around "post time" (9:00 PM) and haven't checked out a Stars broadcast yet lately, use the link in the Daily Menu above to check out Ben Hendrickson and the rest of the Huntsville crew. High Desert still up 4-2, by the way, in the bottom of the sixth at Lancaster in Cal League action...

Helena Site Game Summary: After being rocked by the Brewers in his first two starts, Great Falls White Sox ace Brandon McCarthy silenced the Brewers in his second consecutive start against Helena, going seven innings only allowing two runs. Great Falls topped Helena 4-3 at Legion Field in Great Falls. Helena is now 2-5 in the second half. Barret Whitney was thrown out at the plate, becoming the thrid Helena base runner to be hosed at the plate in the last two games. Terry Trofholz went two-for-four with his 18th multiple hit game of the season. Manny Ramirez continued his hot streak going three-for-three with a solo shot in the seventh. Whitney chipped in going one-for-three with an RBI double. Kenny Durost started for the Brewers going four innings allowing two runs and eight strikeouts before reaching his pitch count. Ricky Stover pitched four innings of relief allowing two runs while striking out five. Helena and Great Falls go back at it again Monday night at 7:00 PM (8:00 Central).

In progress: High Desert 4, Lancaster (Diamondbacks) 2, after four innings Unfortunately, the miserable, miserable season for LHP Chad Petty continues. After coasting through the first two innings (six up, six down), Petty ran into control troubles in both the third and fourth innings. He was able to get out of a bases loaded jam in the third allowing only one run. RHP Danny Stout had to come in to get the final out in the fourth however, again with the bases loaded, after Petty had allowed another run. Petty's final line: 3.2 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 5 BB, 2 K Petty was handed a 2-0 lead going into the third and a 4-1 lead into the fourth. Pretty inexcusable to once again have to tax the bullpen early now. And we are all left to wonder more about Petty's lofty Power 50 status http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Anybody listening to Indy? I'm giving Chad Petty and the Mavs my audio attention tonight. Looks like it's three tremendous starts for Luis Martinez. See you in a Brewer uniform Friday night, kid.

Beloit 5, Dayton (Reds) 4 Beloit Game Summary (Once again, we turn to the Dayton site): Beloit, WI - The Beloit Snappers (29-14, 61-49) broke a 4-4 tie in the bottom of the seventh inning with a bases loaded walk that forced in what would be the winning run in a 5-4 Beloit win over the Dayton Dragons (19-24, 54-59) Sunday afternoon at Pohlman Field. The loss is the fourth in a row for the Dragons on the road and the second straight overall. Gorky Batista (L, 1-1) got the ball for the Dragons and avoided the first inning pratfalls that hampered the Saturday night start of Thomas Pauly, in the first game of the series. The second inning was a different story for Batista and the Dragons, as the Snappers picked up a pair of runs on a sacrifice fly from Pedro Esparragoza and a Dayton error by third baseman Ivan Reyes. After two innings, Beloit led 2-0. Dayton came back to tie the game in the top half of the third off Snapper starter Luis Pena. Reyes reached on a single and moved to second base on a ball booted by Beloit shortstop Chas Terni. After a Tulio Araque sacrifice bunt moved the runners along, Hector Mateo pushed a bunt down the first base line that was good for an RBI single and the Dragons were within 2-1. Kevin Howard knocked home the equalizer, as he reached on a fielder?s choice that scored Manny Paula, who had reached on the Terni error. The Snappers snapped the tie with single tallies in the third and the fourth off Batista. Prince Fielder bounced into a 4-6-3 double play with runners on first and third with none down to give Beloit the 3-2 lead. In the fourth inning, DH Adam Heether got into the act with an RBI groundout, again off Batista, as the Snappers extended the lead to 4-2. The Dragons tied the game at 4-4 with a two out rally in the top of the fifth inning, the last that Pena would throw. With two down and none on, Mateo picked up a bloop double into center field. Howard joined him on base after a free pass and Dayton had the makings of a rally. Jarrod Schmidt came through with one of his three hits on the afternoon, as he slammed a double over the head of Beloit left fielder Kennard Bibbs. Both Mateo and Howard scored on the two base hit and the game was tied up. Beloit broke the tie for the final time in the home half of the seventh inning. After Terni struck out to lead off the inning, Bibbs picked up a one out single off Batista. With one out and a runner at first, Manager Donnie Scott called on Matt McWilliams out of the Dragons pen. McWilliams walked Callix Crabbe on four pitches putting runners at first and second. Tony Gwynn Jr., moved the runners up on a ground out for the second out of the inning. Not wanting to get burned by the MWL leader in HR and RBI, Fielder was intentionally walked to load the bases. With the sacks full, there was no place to put Travis Hinton, so when McWilliams walked his third hitter of the inning, the Snappers plated a run and took the 5-4 lead. Jon Huizinga (W, 2-0) replaced Pena to start the sixth inning and was perfect through two innings of work, six up and six down, including four ground balls and a strike out as he picked up the win. Tim Bausher (S, 1) tossed a perfect ninth inning with two strikeouts to notch his first save as a Snapper. The Dragons continue the four game series against the Beloit Snappers Monday night at Pohlman Stadium in Beloit Wisconsin with a 7 PM first pitch. 1410 EPSN Radio WING AM will carry the game live with the pre game show beginning at 6:30 PM. RHP Kyle Lucas will make the start for Dayton while Beloit will start Manny Parra.
