Lake Elsinore Storm v. Inland Empire 66ers 7:05 PM PT
Nick Schmidt v. Aaron Miller
Notes: Lake Elsinore won their series against Rancho Cucamonga, and Inland Empire was swept by Lancaster... I expect Everth Cabrera will continue rehabbing with Lake Elsinore... These two pitchers squared off in their last start, an 11-7 win for Lake Elsinore... Inland Empire had given up eight runs in the 8th inning... Neither starter factored in the decision... Schmidt has only allowed three earned runs in his last two starts... Miller has more hits than innings pitched in only one start this year...
