Cal League Condensed: 6/3 Preview

Stockton Ports v. Visalia Rawhide 7:00 PM PT
Kenny Smalley v. Taylor Sinclair
Notes: Stockton won their series against Modesto, and Visalia was swept by Bakersfield... Visalia has lost eight in a row... Kenny Smalley had a 6.75 ERA in May... Smalley has allowed four earned runs in 14.2 IP against Visalia this year... Two of Taylor Sinclair's three wins this year have come against Stockton... Sinclair has only pitched six innings once this season, and it was against Stockton... Game will be available on 1280 AM in Stockton and 1270 AM in Visalia as well as www.milb.com...

High Desert Mavericks v. Inland Empire 66ers 7:05 PM PT
Kenn Kasparek v. Vicente Padilla
Notes: Each team won their previous series which were against Lake Elsinore and Lancaster respectively... I haven't read anything about Vicente Padilla's pitch count yet, so I don't know how long he's expected to last... George Sherrill is with Inland Empire again too, so I'd guess that Inland Empire won't use a regular starter after those two are finished pitching... Kenn Kasparek has walked eight in his last three starts... Kasparek pitched 5.1 shutout innings against Inland Empire earlier this year... Game will be available on 92.9 FM in High Desert and 1050 AM in Inland Empire as well as www.kcaaradio.com and www.milb.com...

Lake Elsinore Storm v. Modesto Nuts 7:05 PM PT
Steve Garrison v. Dan Houston
Notes: Each team lost their previous series which were against High Desert and Stockton respectively... This is usually Juan Oramas' start, and I'm not sure why he's not listed... Steve Garrison has not pitched yet in 2010... Garrison pitched only 34 innings in 2009... Dan Houston won his first two starts of the season but hasn't won since... Houston's season high in strikeouts is four and has done it three times... Game will be available on 970 AM in Modesto as well as www.milb.com...

Lancaster JetHawks v. Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 7:05 PM PT
Brad Dydalewicz v. Pat Corbin
Notes: Each team lost their previous series which were against Inland Empire and San Jose respectively... Brad Dydalewicz has had an ERA over 10 in five of his 10 starts this year... Dydalewicz has allowed more hits than innings pitched in all of his starts but one... Pat Corbin allowed two earned runs in 5.2 IP in his Cal League debut... Corbin was a second round pick by Anaheim last year... Game will be available on 1380 AM in Lancaster and 1510 in Rancho Cucamonga as well as www.jethawks.com, www.rcquakes.com and www.milb.com...

San Jose Giants v. Bakersfield Blaze 7:30 PM PT
Eric Stolp v. Wilfredo Boscan
Notes: San Jose won their series against Rancho Cucamonga, and Bakersfield swept Visalia... Eric Stolp has allowed seven earned runs in 11 IP against Bakersfield this season... Stolp pitched eight shutout innings in his last start... Wilfredo Boscan's last start was his worst of the season, a four inning, five run effort...
