It was an extra-innings kinda night in the upper levels of the system yesterday. Columbus dropped a 2-1 decision in 13, while the Aeros fell 3-2 in 10 innings. Kinston won despite only four hits, and the Captains split a doubleheader.

Nick Hagadone, RP-COL: 2 IP, 4 K, BB.

Hagadone has now made 4 appearances with AAA Columbus. He's thrown 6 1/3 innings, allowing 1 ER on 3 hits, walking one and striking out 8. In short, he's been pretty much as dominant for Columbus as he was for Akron. The majority of the batters he has faced in AAA have been righties; he's logged 5 IP against righthanded batters and just 1 1/3 innings against lefites. So it's not like Hagadone is just going to be a lefty specalist out of the bullpen. He's a guy that can get hitters out on both sides of the plate, and could really be an impact arm that the Indians add to the active roster down the stretch. I really think he'll slot right in to the back end of the bullpen once he gets called up, likely sometime after the all star break.

• Jenmar Gomez, SP-COL: 7 IP, ER, 4 H, 6 K, 3 BB. Solid start for Gomez, who was stuck with a no-decision. Has now given up just 3 ER in his last 15 IP.
• Jensen Lewis, RP-COL: 2 IP, H, 3 K. Jensen's 2nd scoreless outing in a row brings his season ERA down to 4.03
• Jerad Head, RF-COL: 2-4, 2B, RBI, BB. Head is now up to .343/.404/.547 on the season, far and away the best numbers he has put up in his minor league career.
• Lonnie Chisenhall, 3B-COL: 1-5, 2B, BB, 2 K. Hitting .303/.373/.485 in the month of May. His bat would be an upgrade over Hanahan, but would the downgrade in the glove be worth it?
• Jared Goedert, DH-COL: 0-5, 2 K. Goedert's 2011 AAA debut wasn't pretty.
• Kelvin De La Cruz, SP-AKR: 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 4 K, 4 BB. De La Cruz has to cut down on the walks so he can go deeper into games. He has 60 K in 46 1/3 IP on the season, but also 32 BB.
• C.C. Lee, RP-AKR: 1 1/3 IP, 3 K. Lee struck out 3 of the 4 hitters he faced last night, and is having another outstanding season for Akron. In 15 1/3 innings this month, he has a 2.35 ERA and 26 K while walking just one hitter.
• Tim Fedroff, LF-AKR: 0-4, K. The streak is finally over. Still, Fedroff is leading the Eastern League in hitting at .366.
• Kyle Bellows, 3B-AKR: 1-3, 2B, BB, R, K. The Aeros could only muster 6 hits yesterday, and Bellows had the only XBH.
• Tyler Sturdevant, RP-KIN: W (3-2), 4 IP, 4 K. Sturdevant turned in 4 perfect innings out of the bullpen for the win. He's been one of Kinston's more consisntent relievers this season, posting a 1.53 ERA and striking out 30 in 29 1/3 IP.
• Preston Guilmet, RP-KIN: S (11), IP, H, K. Guilmet back to his old self after allowing a couple of HR in his last outing.
• Bo Greenwell, LF-KIN: 2-4, 2B, RBI, R. Greewell collected 2 of the K-Tribe's 4 hits yesterday, and is now 6-16 in his last 4 games.
• Adam Abraham, 3B-KIN: 1-4, HR (6), 2 RBI, R, 2 K. Abraham with his 2nd HR in 3 games, now slugging  a team-high .420 on the season.
• LeVon Washington, CF-LCC: 2-6, 2B, R, BB. Washington snapped out of an 0-19 funk with a couple of knocks yesterday. He's hitting just .182 overall.
• Jesus Aguilar, 1B-LCC: 3-6, 2 2B, 2 RBI, K. BBJA is putting up solid power numbers, but is hitting just .232 on the season.
• Alex Lavisky, C-LCC: 3-7, HR (4), 2B, 2 RBI, R.  Lavisky has a dissapointing .205/.255/.356 line on the season, but has been better lately. In his last 10 games, he has a .257/.278/.429 line. He needs to work on his pitch recognition/selection, as he's struck out 45 times on the season against just 8 walks.
