Cal League Condensed: 5/20 Preview

Visalia Rawhide v. San Jose Giants 11:35 AM PT
Wade Miley v. Aaron King
Notes: San Jose is going for a series sweep... Wade Miley is coming off his worst start of the year by far, allowing 9 runs in 1.2 IP... Against San Jose earlier this year, Miley gave up six runs in five innings... Aaron King has allowed 13 earned runs in his last two starts... King's only win of the season came against Visalia... Game will be available on 1270 AM in Visalia as well as www.sjgiants.com and www.milb.com...

Rancho Cucamonga Quakes v. Lancaster JetHawks 7:00 PM PT
Tyler Chatwood v. Leandro Cespedes
Notes: Lancaster is going for a series sweep... Tyler Chatwood hasn't allowed a run in May and has 22 strikeouts to six walks... Chatwood allowed two runs in six innings in one previous start against Lancaster... Leandro Cespedes has an 8.22 ERA as a starter this season (two starts)... Cespedes allowed three runs in 1.1 IP in back to back appearances against Rancho Cucamonga...

Bakersfield Blaze v. Modesto Nuts 7:05 PM PT
Wilmer Font v. Rob Scahill
Notes: Modesto is going for a series sweep... I'll guess Wilmer Font again since he'll need to start at some point... Font struggled in his second go with Hickory, allowing hits at a much higher rate... Rob Scahill's best start of the season came against Bakersfield when he allowed only one run in seven innings... Scahill's last two starts have only been a combined 8.1 IP... Game will be available on 970 AM in Modesto as well as www.milb.com...

Inland Empire 66ers v. High Desert Mavericks 7:05 PM PT
Ethan Martin v. Bobby LaFromboise

Martin has only lasted five or more innings twice this season... Bobby LaFromboise has allowed 14 earned runs in his last three starts... LaFromboise only allowed five in his first four starts... Game will be available on 1050 AM in Inland Empire and 92.9 FM in High Desert as well as www.kcaaradio.com and www.milb.com...

Stockton Ports v. Lake Elsinore 7:05 PM PT
Shawn Haviland v. Anthony Bass
Notes: Rubber match of three game series... Shawn Haviland struck out a season high 10 in his last start... After posting a 2.42 ERA in April, Haviland has a 4.00 ERA through three May starts... Anthony Bass hasn't faced a North division opponent yet this season... Bass only has six walks in 47 innings... Game will be available on 1280 AM in Stockton as well as www.milb.com...
