July 18 -- MYERS LOSES

MIAMI -- Quick update on Brett Myers, who started the first seven-inning game of a double-header tonight for Class A Clearwater.

Myers allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits, walked one and struck out six in 6-2/3 innings and took the loss in a 3-2 setback against Brevard County. With the game tied 2-2 in the seventh, Myers allowed a leadoff double to Charlie Fermaint, who went to third base on an error by Clearwater center fielder Quintin Berry. After a groundout, Myers intentionally walked Stephen Chapman to set up a possible double play. Fermaint was thrown out at home on a fielder's choice grounder to shortstop, but Chapman scored from second base one batter later on Jimmy Mojica's line-drive single to left field.

If you keep track of such things, Myers has lost at every level he has pitched this season (he's 3-9 with the Phillies, 1-1 at Class AAA Lehigh Valley, 0-1 at Class AA Reading and 0-1 at Class A Clearwater).

Since Myers is in Florida, I'd expect to see him here at Dolphin Stadium tomorrow.

What happens when Myers comes back and stinks?
