Porfirio Valdez will miss 1-2 weeks due to a tender shoulder. In the Buffalo-Toledo game he sustained the injury while throwing a pitch. "I'm disappointed more than anything," he told reporters later in the day. "You can't help your team on the bench," Valdez sighed. "I'll do the rehab work and hope for a quick recovery."
This year Valdez has chalked up a 3.20 ERA with no saves. In no relief appearances he has put up a 6-5 won-lost mark and struck out 90 batters in 129.1 innings. |  | Friday, July 25th, 2008: Danks Holds Red Wings Scoreless Buffalo pitcher John Danks put on a show today and walked away with a 4-0 shutout victory over the Rochester Red Wings, throttling them on 3 hits. He just cruised through their lineup, fanning 12 and walking 3 in a strong outing.
"He was very efficient and he hit his spots," his manager said. "He stayed down in the zone and stayed away from the middle of the plate."
In 2008 Danks has compiled a 8-12 record with a 3.54 ERA in 22 starts. | | | | Team Information | | Record overall | 84-60, .583 PCT | | Position in Division | 3rd, 2.0 GB | | Record at home | 46-26, .639 PCT | | Record on the road | 38-34, .528 PCT | | Record in X-inning games | 8-11, .421 PCT | | Record in one-run games | 18-24, .429 PCT | | Record versus LHP | 19-12, .613 PCT | | Record versus RHP | 65-48, .575 PCT | | Record last 10 games | 6-4, .600 PCT | | Record in April | 17-11, .607 PCT | | Record in May | 16-13, .552 PCT | | Record in June | 13-14, .481 PCT | | Record in July | 19-10, .655 PCT | | Record in August | 18-11, .621 PCT | | Record in September | 1-1, .500 PCT |
