Maloney gave up a two-run shot. He struggling with gopher balls tonight.
Which makes what Travis Wood did last night even more impressive.
Lookouts get 1 back and trail 4-1. Valaika singles, Turner doubles, Tatum RBI single.
Good point. The only one of the 6 you listed that Wood didn't have to face was Salome. Great stuff from Wood, and that should give him a bunch of confidence going forward.
Laporta hit a homer to center off of Wood that still hasn't landed yet.
Maloney has five strikeouts in four innings. Other than the two homers, he has not been horrible. No walks.
Juan Francisco is intentionally walked to get to Drew Stubbs.... who takes the walk the conventional way and gets the RBI.
Devin Mesoraco is 0-1 with a walk for Dayton.
Send him up!

Lookouts get another run back,Trail 4-2.
Chattanooga Bottom 4th
* Tonys Gutierrez hit by pitch.
* Chris Valaika hits a ground-rule double (6) on a fly ball to right field. Tonys Gutierrez to 3rd.
* Justin Turner out on a sacrifice fly to center fielder Freddy Parejo. Tonys Gutierrez scores.
* Cody Strait flies out to right fielder Matt LaPorta.
* Craig Tatum flies out to center fielder Freddy Parejo.
Valaika heating up. Last 10 games, including tonight he is hitting .394/.444/.606
Sarasota tied at 4.
Drew Stubbs takes another walk. He is an absolute walk machine lately, walking in 18.3% of his plate appearances since May began.

Philippe Valiquette struck out 2 of the 3 batters he faced (single to the other). He has been VERY GOOD this year.
