FROM TERRE HAUTE TO THE MAJOR LEAGUES: Thatcher having a good 0-for-May

Dennis Clark The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE — San Diego Padres’ left-handed relief pitcher Joe Thatcher has yet to allow a run to score in the month of May.

In eight relief appearances, the former Indiana State pitcher has held opponents scoreless in a span covering 71⁄3 innings. Thatcher has lowered is earned run average to just 2.03, with 14 strikeouts in 131⁄3 innings.

While Thatcher is thriving, the opposite was true for former ISU pitcher Matt Zaleski, resulting in his demotion from AAA to AA (see transactions below) on Thursday.

In two starts for Charlotte (May 14 and May 20), Zaleski pitched a combined nine innings, allowing 13 runs (12 earned), 15 hits, with five walks and seven strikeouts. He also issued four home runs, three vs. Durham on May 20.

Notes — Nick Ciolli has hit safely in six of his last seven games for Winston-Salem …  Jake Eigsti has hit safely in his last five games and 12 of his last 13 games for Camden, … Derek Eitel won his fourth game for Mobile on Thursday, allowing just two runs in six innings vs. Tennessee. … Mitch Stetter picked up his second and third holds of the season on Wednesday and Thursday for Huntsville, both times vs. Birmingham.

Transactions — Ryan Strausborger was placed on the 7-day disabled list (strained right groin) by Frisco … Matt Zaleski was reassigned from Charlotte (AAA) to Birmingham (AA) on Thursday.
