tough times

A punch thrown in frustration resulted in a broken right hand for Drew Pomeranz and landed the left-hander out of Ole Miss on the disabled list for Oakland. Pomeranz (5-4, 2.91 ERA) slugged a chair Monday night after allowing eight hits, two walks and seven earned runs in 3 2/3 innings against Texas, his worst outing since he moved into the A’s rotation. He is on the 15-day DL. … Picayune High alum T.J. House was sent down to Triple-A Columbus by Cleveland today. Lefty House was 0-1 with a 4.88 ERA in six games, five starts. He’ll be back. … Former Pillow Academy star Louis Coleman, recalled from the minors by Kansas City today, gave up a home run to the first batter he faced, Detroit’s Ian Kinsler. On the bright side: Coleman got through the eighth inning for the Royals, who beat Detroit 11-4 to move into first place in the American League Central. Coleman’s ERA when he was sent out at the end of May was 6.27. It’s now 6.41.
