Akron finally lost last night and they actually got shutout against Erie. They've been laying a smacking on the Erie pitching staff until last night.

There is much better news out of Akron though. Wes Hodges has been named to the MLB Futures game! He will play for the USA Team against his fellow Indian organization member Hector Rondon.

More good news from Akron.. Obviously Randy Newsome can't compete in the Double A All Star Game because he's now in Buffalo. So to take his spot on the roster, the Eastern League have selected Scott Roehl.

Tony Sipp pitched a perfect inning with two punchouts yesterday. Like I said, he will be up to Buffalo rather quickly, especially if some Buffalo relievers are sent up to Cleveland(could be as soon as today).

Acording to Tony Lastoria, Dan Cevette, K-Tribe reliever has retired.

Of Course, It is Friday, so you might want to check out the Minor League Happenings. Chisenhall, Hodges, Crowe, Rondon, Cabrera, Perdomo, are all discussed.

No Morning Update, Happy 4th!
