• Inland Empire: The entire California League was off on Tuesday. (Catcher, Carlos Ramirez was promoted to the 66’ers before last Friday’s game and is hitting .500 after three games)
• Cedar Rapids: Tyler Kehrer (3.00), the Angels’ 2009 first-round pick returned from injury this week and in his third appearance of the 2011 season he struck out the only batter he faced on Tuesday. Max Russell (2.41) pitched seven solid innings, striking out out eight, allowing just two runs. Russell notched his fifth quality start in a row and currently sports an ERA of 1.26 in that stretch. Donn Roach gave up three runs in an inning of relief work. Travis Witherspoon (.239) went 0-4 and has struck out eight times in his last three games. The Kernels lost the game 7-1.
