Rochester Red Wings

Starting Pitchers
1.) Pete Munro - 8-12 / 4.32 ERA / 162.1 inn / 97-47 K-BB
2.) Jason Miller - 3-8 / 3.81 ERA / 99.1 inn / 87-36 K-BB
3.) Mike Smith - 11-5 / 3.88 ERA / 150.2 inn / 110-57 K-BB

DL - J.D. Durbin - 4-3 / 2.33 ERA / 89 inn / 81-50 K-BB

Pete Munro started 2 games, pitching 8.1 innings and taking a loss. His ERA stayed even, and he struck out 3 while walking 2.

Jason Miller pitched 4.2 innings. His ERA rose by .01 points, and he struck out 5 while walking 3.

Mike Smith started 2 games, pitching 8.1 innings and picking up a win. His ERA fell by .04 points, and he struck out 6 while walking 5.

Dave Gassner started 1 game and made 1 relief appearance, pitching a total of 7.1 innings. His ERA rose by .07 points, and he struck out 3 while walking 2.

Glen Perkins was promoted from New Britain to fill out the Red Wings rotation after Scott Baker was recalled by the Twins. His first start at the AAA level was rocky, although from the numbers above you can see he didn't give up a ton of earned runs. Whether he gets any starts in the AAA post-season probably depends on how many games the Red Wings play and how effective the other starters are.
