Astros Arizona Fall League Recap: Game 11

Despite an 8-4 loss to Mesa on Saturday, the Salt River Rafters remain atop the leaderboard in the AFL with their 7-3-1 record. They are currently two games in front of Mesa as the AFL goes into an off-day on Sunday.

The Diamondbacks Archie Bradley got the start for the Rafters and wasn't exactly sharp as he gave up three hits and walked four batters in two innings and left the bases loaded in the third. And Jason Adam of the Twins did Bradley no favors as he allowed all three of Bradley's runners to score. Bradley ended up getting charged with seven runs (four earned) and Adam was charged with one unearned run of his own. None of your Astros saw any pitching action.

The Rafters defense was not exactly sterling either as they committed four errors in the game, none of those coming from Astros players, however.

At the plate, the Rafters were held to eight hits, but four of those were for extra bases, including a home run from the Rockies Chris O'Dowd. Andrew Aplin (0-for-4 with a strikeout) and Joe Sclafani, playing at third base, were the only Astros players to make an appearance. Sclafani had a nice game, going 1-for-3 with a double, walk, run and stolen base.
