Chris Carpenter pitched about as well as could be expected. According to the FSN South broadcast he hit 93 and was sitting at 90-91 during his four innings. His location was a bit off, like it was in the minors, but overall he looked pretty good. Wainwright is next and he may get a start at Springfield on Monday.

There were lots of games tonight, as all six of the minor league teams had action scheduled and both Palm Beach and Quad Cities had double headers. All the details are after the jump.

Memphis 6, Fresno 1 (UPDATED)

Josh Phelps crushed his sixth homer in the last three games in going 1-5.  It is really a bit of a waste for him to be toiling at memphis for the Cardinals.  There are several big league teams that he could be starting for = the Royals and Mariners come to mind immediately = and he could be a nice bat off the bench for a contender.  He wouldn’t command much of a price, but maybe the Cardinals can pawn him off by the deadline.

Jon Jay also homered, his first at Memphis.  He went 2-4 on the evening.

Brian Barton was 3-5.

Mitchell Boggs had a nice start (albeit a little wild), going 6.1 innings and giving up one run on three hits and four walks. 

Jason Motte relieved with 1.2 perfect innings, striking out three.

Mark Worrell got into a little trouble in his 1/3 of an inning, giving up two hits and a walk, but Chris Perez came in with the bases loaded and struck out two in a row to end the game.
