- The Dodgers disabled Esteban Loiaza after today's game, and there is some talk that Clayton Kershaw may be the one to replace him, if Yhency Brazoban doesn't beat him to the bigs first. The acid test will come May 17, when the Dodgers will first need a fifth starter, in their series against the Angels.
- Howie Kendrick will not return to the Angels until next week because of a setback in his rehab. Kendrick did not appear in tonight's Rancho/Inland Empire game.
- Coby Smith was promoted to AAA Salt Lake from AA Arkansas; replacing him on the Travs' roster was Drew Toussaint, who came up from Rancho.
- Here's today's Angels and Dodgers system roundups.
- The Padres have purchased the contract of LHP Shawn Estes from AAA Portland. RHP Kevin Cameron will hit the 15-day DL to make room.
- The Durham Bulls are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of Bull Durham.

Morales: 1-4, 1 K
Wilson: 0-3, 1 BB
Austen: (L, 0-1), 5.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 7 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 0.90 ERA
Bonilla: 2.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 5 K, 2 BB, 5.29 ERA
Thompson: 1.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 4.38 ERA
The thrill is gone... David Austen started in his second game with the Bees and took the loss despite only giving up one run; his offense was unable to help him out. You know the pitching is having a hard go of it when Dallas McPherson walks twice.

Trevor Bell pitched seven innings of shutout ball, the second consecutive game he's done that. He retired the first nine he faced in order. Mark Trumbo drove in a run on an RBI triple (that must have been something to see, as Trumbo is notoriously slow).

James Adkins took the loss for Inland Empire, his second of the season. Only one 66er got as far as third base, Ryan Rogowski, who got a leadoff double in the top of the fourth and was bunted to third by Trayvon Robinson.

Fish: (L, 1-1), 6.0 IP, 11 R, 9 ER, 7 H, 4 K, 4 BB, 5.77 ERA
Seven errors total and two by the Kernels marred this contest, with both sides scoring four runs in the first inning; the big damage was in the top of the third, when 1B Efren Navarro botched Jose Made's grounder, allowing two runs to score. Robert Fish took the pasting for the Kernels, his longest outing of the year, and his worst. Clay Fuller had a perfect night at the plate, reaching by hit or by walk five times.

Hammes: (L, 1-2) (in relief), 1.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 0 K, 0 BB, 8.69 ERA
Is Kershaw pitching in relief a sign that the Dodgers intend to call him up before Brazoban? It certainly marks the first relief opportunity this year he's had. Stay tuned... the Dodgers may see the minotaur sooner than this fall!

"You know the pitching is having a hard go of it when Dallas McPherson walks twice."
Is that intended to be some sort of thinly-veiled criticism of his plate discipline? Those of us who know Dallas personally and admire and respect both his character and his baseball skills are offended. I'd much prefer him on my roster than several current members of the Angels 25-man and 40-man rosters.
