Howard closes AFL on torrid pace
11/11/2005
CINCINNATI -- Kevin Howard ended his Arizona Fall League season by hitting safely in his final 10 games, a streak that raised his average from .380 to an AFL-best .409. He collected a staggering 15 hits during the week, which was highlighted by three-hit games on Friday, Monday and Tuesday.
Howard and six other Reds' prospects are continuing their 2005 campaigns with the Mesa Solar Sox. Here's how the others fared during the final week of the season:
OF Chris Denorfia -- Denorfia also ended the season riding a 10-game hitting streak, during which he raised his average from .294 to .333. His 6-for-15 week was highlighted by a 3-for-6 performance on Monday against the Phoenix Desert Dogs.
C Ryan Hanigan -- The little-used backstop went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in his only appearance of the week. He finished his fall campaign hitting .216 with a triple and an RBI in 37 at-bats.
RHP Luke Hudson -- Hudson tossed nine innings over two starts during the week, allowing six runs on nine hits. He ended the season with an 0-1 record and 5.68 ERA over 25 1/3 innings.
RHP Bubba Nelson -- After a 10-day layoff, Nelson got the win on the final day of the regular season, despite allowing a run in his lone inning of work. He went 2-1 with a 6.59 ERA over 13 2/3 innings.
RHP Allan Simpson -- Simpson's scoreless streak ended at 13 innings on Friday, when he allowed the winning run to score in the Desert Dogs' 3-2 victory. He finished the season with a sparkling 0.63 ERA.
3B Joey Votto -- A 4-for-11 week raised Votto's average 50 points to .250. On Saturday, however, he earned a "Golden Sombrero" by going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts against the Peoria Javelinas.
