Ugly Outing for Kuo...

MLB:
Kuo was cruising through the first 3 innings before the Padres knocked him out of the game in the 4th inning. 5 hits (including a 3 run HR) and a walk would plate 4 runs for the Padres. Rudy Seanez, who relieved Kuo would allow 2 more inherited base runners to score - thus giving Kuo an ugly line on the night: 3.1 IP 7 runs 6 hits 3 BB 3 K's. Kuo was clocked between 88-91 mph on his fastball. Kuo is in line to pick up his 4th loss of the season while his ERA has inflated to 7.71 after tonight's performance. Box

Tsao has been activated/recalled by the Dodgers - and pitched a scoreless 9th inning last night.*updated*


US MINORS:
R - GCL action - Red 5 - Red Sox 4: CH Lin was 0-3 with a walk and his 3rd SB of the season - he did have 3 K's. CH Huang was the main offensive force for the Sox tonight as he was 2-4 with 2 doubles and 2 RBI's. Box

Bad news regarding Red Sox prospect WY Lin - he might be out for the season as he's been placed on the 60 day DL per BA. On the same page, the Mariners placed CA Huang on the military list - so we won't be seeing him in the US this year.
