Sam Howard (no. 10 PuRP) threw five innings of one run ball for the Isotopes on Memorial Day and Raimel Tapia and Tom Murphy (no. 11 PuRP) both contributed RBI singles in a victory. Howard, who has been up-and-down this season so far, was placed on the 7-day DL on May 15th and had not pitched since May 12th when he was taken out of the game with a shoulder injury.
Another starting pitcher prospect, Peter Lambert (no. 4 PuRP), allowed four earned runs in five innings pitched for the Yard Goats. Lambert has cooled off in the second half of May after starting the month with just two earned runs allowed in his first sixteen innings pitched.
