period of adjustment

In his first two games at Triple-A, Michael Taylor went 0-7. In his third, game 2 of yesterday's doubleheader with the Rochester RedWings, he singled, hit a two-run homer, walked, and stole a base. And did it all hitting third. I tuned in for the homer, part of a six-run 4th that put the IronPigs up 6-0. They won that game 6-3 behind solid pitching from Carlos Carrasco. They also took game 1, 7-5, behind Gustavo Chacin. The 'Pigs are now in third place (woohoo) in their division and go for the four-game sweep today.

The Phillies and Marlins were rained out last night. The game has yet to be rescheduled.

I hope yesterday was not my last chance to catch Carrasco pitching for the 'Pigs! Pat Gillick was in Toronto today, watching Halladay pitch.
