Irabu shines as Navigators tighten Bronx path
Norwich Navigators right hander Hideki Irabu allowed four hits and struck out five over five scoreless innings in a 99 mph fastball showcase against the New Haven Ravens. The 6-foot-4 hurler, in his third U.S. start, did not issue a walk in 14 minor-league innings, with fastball peaks to 94 mph. In Barraco, Bartolo Colon pitched a no hitter for the Buffalo Bisons, a first for the team since 1952, fanning eight over 27 batters. Cincinnati Reds slash ticket prices for interleague series with Milwaukee and Kansas City, offering $4 second-level and $3 upper decks for six games late June to early September.
