In Australian League Baseball action from today, Adelaide lost 8-2 to Canberra. Stefan Welch batted third and played third base, while Justin Howard hit sixth and was the DH. Two Pirates relievers also made appearances, Wilson Lee and Rinku Singh. Welch went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout, while Howard went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts. Howard is now hitting .139 after 36 AB’s.

Wilson Lee came on in relief during the fifth inning for former Pirates’ farmhand Paul Mildren. Lee stranded the two base runners he inherited and would later be paid back for his effort. He ended up pitching a total of 2.2 inning, leaving in the eighth inning with two men on and one out. Rinku Singh came on and recorded a strikeout and a fly ball to end the inning. Lee allowed two runs on two hits and three walks, while also striking out three batters.

In Venezuela, Ryan Reid picked up the win yesterday with two scoreless innings of relief. It was his first appearance in 13 days. Reid allowed one hit, two walks and he struck out two batters. He has 1.35 ERA, a 5/14 BB/K ratio and a .191 BAA in 12 appearances.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
