MLB.com

The Louisville Bats fell 4-2 to the Pawtucket Red Sox Sunday afternoon in spring training baseball.

Curt Schilling started for the Pawsox and threw 98 pitches, 70 for strikes, giving up a run on four hits, striking out six, without walking a batter over six innings. He struck out the side in order in the first inning.

For Louisville, Phil Dumatrait started, going three innings, allowing only one hit while striking out three. Jason Kershner allowed three runs in two innings of work and Eric Junge allowed one run in two relief innings. Brian O'Connor pitched two scoreless frames of relief.

Offensively, Jay Bruce hit a solo home run off Schilling and drove in the other Louisville run as he went 2-for-4 in the game. Aaron Herr contributed two hits for the Bats as well.

Louisville will play the Rochester Red Wings, Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles on Monday at the Reds Minor League Complex in Sarasota.

Guess it was Dumatrait not Pelland.

Bo Lainer gave some updates to Bill Lack of Redlegnation.com and Jay Bruce continues to hit. He hit a walk off HR yesterday against the Twins AAA team.

Jay Bruce will hit 35+ homers this year if he stays healthy and gets 500 atbats.

Jay Bruce will hit 35+ homers this year if he stays healthy and gets 500 atbats.

Not if he spends half of his year in the FSL. That is 7 more than anyone has hit in the last 2 seasons there. Andy Wilson hit 28 in 2005 to lead the league and 3 guys hit 21 last year to lead the league. Now Jay may hit 50+ doubles in that league, but that league kills Home Runs.

Jay will spend half the year in Chattanooga, IMO.
