Cal League Condensed: 6/8 Preview

Modesto Nuts v. San Jose Giants 7:00 PM PT
Dan Houston v. Oliver Odle
Notes: Dan Houston's season long outing is six innings, and it was in his second start of the year... Houston has allowed one earned run in 9.1 IP against San Jose this year... Oliver Odle has made three starts and 11 relief appearances this year... His three starts have totaled 16 out of his 39.2 IP... Game will be available on 970 AM in Modesto as well as www.sjgiants.com and www.milb.com...

Visalia Rawhide v. Lancaster JetHawks 7:00 PM PT
Taylor Sinclair v. TBA
Notes: Taylor Sinclair has only finished six innings once this season, and it was in his second start of the year... Sinclair has struck out six batters in consecutive starts... This would normally be Brad Dydalewicz's start, but he was assigned to A Lexington... Leandro Cespedes has made spot starts for them in the past, so I'd guess it could be him again... Game will be available on 1270 AM in Visalia and 1380 AM in Lancaster as well as www.jethawks.com and www.milb.com...

Bakersfield Blaze v. Stockton Ports 7:05 PM PT

Ben Hornbeck has 19 strikeouts in 14.1 Cal League innings so far... Hornbeck walked five in his last start... Game will be available on 1280 AM in Stockton as well as www.milb.com...

Inland Empire 66ers v. Lake Elsinore Storm 7:05 PM PT
Jon Michael Redding v. Steve Garrison
Notes: Vicente Padilla is supposed to make more rehab starts, and today would be his turn if he's still with the 66ers... Jon Michael Redding pitched in relief of Padilla in his last appearance and allowed three runs in five innings but also struck out a season high seven... Steve Garrison allowed three runs in five innings in his 2010 debut... Juan Oramas relieved him with three shutout innings and got the win... Game will be available on 1050 AM in Inland Empire and 92.9 FM in Lake Elsinore as well as www.kcaaradio.com and www.milb.com...
