Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Saturday, April 12, 2014


Oklahoma City 12, New Orleans 1

W- Jake Buchanan (1-1)
L- Jared Rogers (0-1)

OKC home runs: Carlos Perez (2, solo in 8th)

Well, the RedHawks were up 5-1, but they felt like they needed just a little more insurance. So, they scored a touchdown in the 8th for the score you see above.

Everyone in the lineup had a hit except for Japhet Amador, who went 0-2. Gregorio Petit and Domingo Santana had 3 hits apiece; all 3 of Santana's hits were doubles. After opening the season 3-22, Domingo has gone 6-14 in his last 3 games.

Jonathan Meyer opened the scoring in the 2nd by reaching on a force attempt that scored Santana. Jon Singleton hit a 2-run single in the 3rd, and in the 4th, Austin Wates hit an RBI double and came home on a Petit sac fly.

Carlos Perez opened the floodgates once again by leading off the 8th with a homer. Ronald Torreyes added an RBI double, and Singleton once again made his presence felt, clearing the bases with a double. He'd score on an Erik Castro triple; Castro scored OKC's final run on Santana's 3rd and final double of the game.

Jake Buchanan allowed 3 hits and struck out 5 over 5 shutout innings to get the win. His outing only required 54 pitches (40 strikes). Jose Cisnero went 2 innings and allowed a run on a single, walked 1, and struck out 3. Chia-Jen Lo allowed 2 hits, walked 2, and struck out 1 over 2 innings to finish it out.

Game 3 will have Nick Tropeano and Collin McHugh taking the mound to take on Brian Flynn. First pitch is at 2:05.

Corpus Christi 3, Tulsa 2 in 10 innings

W- Alex Sogard (1-1)
L- Cole White (0-1)

CC home runs: None.

Corpus walked off with the series victory as Preston Tucker delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 10th. He and Kiké Hernandez both had 2 hits, while Matt Duffy extended his hitting streak to 5 games by going 3-5. Nolan Fontana had a sac fly in the 3rd and Delino DeShields added an RBI single in the 5th.

Brady Rodgers had a spectacular start as he walked 1 and struck out 5 over 5 no-hit, shutout innings. Colton Cain pitched 2.2 innings and allowed 2 runs (1 earned) on 4 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2. Jorge De Leon went 1.1 scoreless and allowed 2 hits, walked 1, and fanned 2. Alex Sogard tossed a 1-2-3 top of the 10th to get the victory.

The Hooks will welcome Springfield to Whataburger Field for a series. In the first of 3, David Rollins and Aaron West will take on Jonathan Cornelius. First pitch is at 1:10.

Lancaster 7, Lake Elsinore 2

W- Kyle Smith (1-0)
L- Bryan Rodriguez (0-1)

Lancaster home runs: None.

The JetHawks wrapped up an undefeated week by securing a series win over the Storm on the road.

Lance McCullers got the start and went 3.2 innings, allowing 2 runs on 2 hits, walking 2, and striking out 4. J.D. Osborne allowed a hit over 1.1 scoreless, and Kyle Smith was stellar in 4 scoreless as he walked 2 and struck out 6 without allowing a hit.

Tony Kemp led off the game with a single. He then stole 2nd and advanced to 3rd on an error. Teoscar Hernandez then drew a walk and stole 2nd. After Carlos Correa struck out, Rio Ruiz reached on an error that allowed both runners to score. He was credited with 1 RBI, though. Carlos Perdomo scored on a balk in the 2nd. He scored again in the 4th on a passed ball as Kemp stole 2nd and advanced to 3rd on said passed ball. Dan Gulbransen went 3-3 with an RBI single in the 2nd; Jake Rodriguez would also score on the ensuing error. Rio finished 2-5, and Kemp had 2 steals (4).

Lancaster will now look for the sweep, and they'll send out Josh Hader and Chris Devenski to take on Joe Ross at 1:05 Pacific.
