Mike Leake: 5.1 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 2 HR (knocked around a bit)

Alex Cobb: 7 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 1 HR

Juan Francisco: 2 for 3, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB

Todd Redmond: 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K (not a prospect, I guess, but having a good year, just turned 26)

Kyle Gibson: 5.1 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
