AAA  Sacramento River Cats beat the Colorado Springs Sky Sox 4-1:

Gregor Blanco CF- 1 for 3, 3B, BB.  BA= .333.
Austin Slater 1B- 2 for 4.  BA= .363.

Derek Law RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(4).  ERA= 6.92.

Wait, what?  What happened to Gregor Blanco?  I missed whatever it was.  Man, I can't keep up with al these moves!  Casey Kelly pitches his 4'th QS in a row and 7'th in his last 8 total starts.  Is he the next callup if the Giants need more pitching help?
