Louisville Sluggish as PawSox Roll Aroldis
Published on June 7, 2010 under International League (IL1)
Pawtucket Red Sox News Release
The highly anticipated matchup between Aroldis Chapman, the Cuban defector and Felix Doubront was a flop as far as Louisville fans were concerned. On Monday night in Kentucky, the PawSox scored 7 times in the first 2+ innings, chasing Chapman, beating the Bats, 7-2. Chapman, who hit 101 miles an hour on the radar gun with his first pitch, was largely ineffective. He allowed the 7 runs on 6 hits. Chapman walked 6 batters.
Meanwhile, Doubront did nothing to tarnish his reputation. He was effective for five innings, allowing one run on 5 hits. Doubront whiffed 5 hitters, walking two. Despite surrendering one run, his ERA rose from 0.77 to 1.08 after 4 starts with Pawtucket. Ramon Ramirez was terrific in relief. After giving up a home run to Yonder Alonso, the rest of his three inning stint was scoreless. Scott Atchison pitched the ninth.
Daniel Nava got his team-high 38th RBI. Tug Hulett belted a 2 run homer and walked with the bases loaded. Ryan Kalish chipped in with two hits, including a double and an rbi. Niuman Romero and Aaron Bates also had two hits each.
The win was the tenth of the year on the road for Pawtucket (27-31).
The PawSox head to Indianapolis for a four game series that begins on Tuesday night at 7:05 p.m. Adam Mills (1-4, 3.68) will pitch for the Sox.
