Word came after last night’s game that Jeremy Horst had been placed on the Paternity List and replaced on the active roster by Phillippe Aumont. Paternity time allows for no more than 3 days on the list, so Aumont might have only the rest of the Reds series to make his mark before going back down to Lehigh Valley. 

For the season in AAA, Aumont’s sits just shy of 12 k/9, and a fair 0.61 HR/9, with a quite bad 6.9 bb/9 and 1.53 WHIP.  He has given up exactly 34 walks and 34 hits.  Cleary he misses a lot of bats…just so happens batters don’t swing as much as he’d like at balls outside the strike zone.

The ‘Pigs are hanging on but bare;y, with a 3-3 week that leaves them 69-61, 5.5 games behind division leading Scranton and a half game behind Pawtucket for the wild card position.  After a rainout last night, the ‘Pigs play a doubleheader tonight at home against Toledo, followed by three on the road against Rochester. Lehigh Valley is home for 11 of their last 14 games, where they are 42-21.

Probables: Tuesday (1)Cochran; (2) Pettibone; Wednesday: Elarton; Thursday: Cloyd; Friday: Brummett. Continue reading Lehigh Valley Weekly Report →
