Gee goes for No. 13 for Herd

August 23, 2010 - 6:29 PM

Dillon Gee takes his second shot at win No. 13 tonight as the Bisons and Pawtucket play a 7:05 game on TWC 13 and SNY. Gee, who pushed his strikeout total to a franchise-record 144 in his last start, got a no-decision Wednesday against Rochester after giving up four runs (but only one earned) in 5 1/3 innings. He's 3-0, 4.44 in August with 26 Ks and just four walks in 24 1/3 innings.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis is back from a family wedding but Fernando Martinez and Justin Turner (knees) are both out of tonight's lineup. No word of any moves to the DL on Turner as of yet. Hideki Okajima is slated to pitch another inning on rehab tonight for Pawtucket.

Tonight's Herd lineup:

Luis Hernandez, ss
Andy Green, 2b
Lucas Duda, lf
Nick Evans, 1b
Kirk Nieuwenhuis, cf
Valentino Pascucci, dh
Mike Cervenak, 3b
Russ Adams, rf
J.R. House, c
