Minor League Scorebook
News
Here's a nice story in the Salt Lake Tribune about Jeff Mathis. Excerpt:"The lack of home runs was something that bothered me a couple weeks back," Mathis said. "I didn't understand where the power went. My swing has changed a bit since last year. I'm hitting more line drives."Harper and hitting coach Jim Eppard weren't worried.
"Homers are a streaky thing," Harper said. "He's driving the ball, but he's just not lifting it. If he didn't have the doubles, I'd be concerned.
"Scioscia has called and told me to tell Jeff that he's still in the team's plans. . . . You don't see too many 23-year-olds catching in the big leagues. He'll figure it out."

Edwards: (L, 7-6) (in relief), 0.1 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 1 K, 1 BB, 5.60 ERA
Casey Benjamin's walkoff double off Bill Edwards put Arkansas in the loss column. Brandon Wood and Matt Brown both homered, Brown's longball tying the game; it was Wood's 25 dinger of the season. Tonight's game also marked the second consecutive in which Wood had no strikeouts at all; he hasn't had more than one in a game since August 9, which for him marks a pretty sizeable improvement. He isn't walking appreciably (two all month), but at least the K's are getting better.

I don't have a log for this game, but it looks like the Quakes took a lead going into the ninth and Kevin Jepsen blew it in relief, thus occluding Karl Gelinas' fine outing.
