Zink, Sea Dogs woes continue

The losing streak reached six games as New Britain bested Portland 9-2 Monday night. Charlie Zink walked six and gave up 8 hits in allowing all nine runs in five innings of work, dropping his record to 0-5. Luis Maza had a two-run homer, and James Tomlin two 2B and two RBI to lead the Rock Cats attack, while Kevin West had a single to extend his hitting streak to 19 games. Boof Bonser, a one-time top prospect for the Giants, pitched seven strong to earn his first win as a member of the Twins organization. In 2002, Boof was mentioned in the same breath as Jerome Williams and Kurt Ainsworth. Both those guys are in the bigs now while Bonser toils in AA, hampered by high walk and HR rates.

Here is a good report on the Twins prospects in New Britain.
