Last night, with eight remaining games, Dallas Braden, set a club record with 17 strikeouts against the Colorado Sky Sox. The previous minor league record was 13. Before the game Johnny Doskow had predicted Braden would do 15 but he was wrong. Braden also went the distance, which is rare anywhere but really rare in AAA ball. His last outing was close to this performance, save one grand slam in the fourth innning against Fresno five nights ago. In his five decisions Braden has a 2.95 ERA. Braden threw a total of 106 pitches - with 81 strikes. He held the Sky Sox to three hits.
On the offensive side Nick Blasi got a fifth inning homerun which was only his second for the season but it came at a crucial time.
The Cats have seven games left and a magic number of four.
