Senators win game, but lose another pitcher
ERIE -- Harrisburg won
But the Senators lost, too.
They lost another pitcher.

Jeff Bailey's RBI single broke a 6-6 tie in the ninth inning and lifted Harrisburg past Erie 7-6 last night at Jerry Uht Park.
However, the Senators' roster is about to undergo a significant shakeup.

On the heels of losing pitcher Donnie Bridges to the Florida Marlins' organization in a trade, Harrisburg announced starting pitcher Mark Mangum, a 1997 first-round pick of the Colorado Rockies, has announced his retirement.
Mangum, acquired by Montreal from Colorado in a 1998 trade, was the winning pitcher for Harrisburg Tuesday.
The right-hander was 7-5 with a 4.16 earned run average.

Bridges is expected to report to Portland while outfielder Brett Roneberg, the outfielder Montreal received from Florida in the trade, is expected to join Harrisburg (44-33) in Akron this weekend.

Harrisburg loses game, star pitcher
Even as they were losing last night to the best team in Class AA, the Senators were suffering another loss to their pitching staff.

In the midst of their 7-2 loss to the Akron Aeros, the Montreal Expos placed Harrisburg all-star pitcher Cliff Lee in a four-player package to the Cleveland Indians that sent pitcher Bartolo Colon, a player to be named later and cash to the Expos.
Packaged with Lee, who Wednesday was named to next month's Class AA all-star game, were Expos first baseman Lee Stevens; former Senators shortstop Brandon Phillips, now with Class AAA Ottawa; and Class A outfielder Grady Sizemore, the Expos' third-round selection in the 2000 amateur draft.
Lee, who had been scheduled to start tonight's game here against the Aeros, was 7-2 in 15 starts for Harrisburg with a 3.23 earned-run average and an Eastern League-leading 105 strikeouts.

Lee also becomes the third Senators starting pitcher to leave the team this week, which started with the Expos trading Donnie Bridges to the Florida Marlins for Class A outfielder Brett Roneberg rather than risk losing him through waivers.

The day after Bridges was traded, Mark Mangum announced his retirement.

NOTES: Roneberg joined the Senators earlier in the day and went 1-for-3 with a walk. He started in right field, making two catches.
