Just a quick note about Kris Benson's start today for Class AAA Lehigh Valley. Benson yielded four runs on five hits in four innings. He didn't walk a batter and recorded one strikeout. Benson threw 73 pitches, 49 strikes. His fastball velocity was consistently in the high-80s, but he reportedly touched 93 at one point.
Syracuse manufactured a run in the first inning when speedy Wayne Lydon (I covered him in the minors with the Mets, and trust me, the dude can fly) reached on an infield single, stole a base and scored on a groundout. After a 1-2-3 second inning, Benson allowed a leadoff double in the third to Russ Adams, who scored two batters later on a sacrifice fly. A leadoff single by former Phils farmhand Danny Sandoval and a double by Newark native Kevin Mench sparked Syracuse's two-run fourth inning.
