FRIDAY'S RESULTS
Midland over Corpus Christi 6-5
Jarred Cosart got the start pitching just 5.1 innings in which he gave up four runs on six hits and four walks with five strikeouts. He will need to start pitching deeper in to games if he wants a permanent callup to Oklahoma City. Kevin Chapman allowed another two runs in relief and was charged with the loss. The Hooks made it a game by scoring two in the eighth and two in the ninth but ultimately fell one run short. Jonathan Singleton had two hits and an RBI, Kody Hinze provided a clutch two RBI single, and Brandon Barnes doubled. T.J. Steele was 0x4 with four strikeouts. (Austin Wates wasn't in the lineup after being hit by a pitch and removed from the game on Thursday.)
Reno over Oklahoma City 2-1
Aneury Rodriguez (L, 1-4) got the loss despite only giving up two runs on five hits as the Redhawks bats fell silent, only managing six hits for the night. Xavier Cedeno continues to be terrific in relief; on Friday, he pitched 1.2 innings with no hits, no walks and four strikeouts to preserve his still perfect 0.00 ERA after 14 appearances. Landon Powell provided the only run via home run, and Scott Moore and Brett Wallace each had two hits for the night.
Lancaster over Inland Empire 5-3
The Jethawks have used Jorge de Leon as the fifth starter for the last couple times through the rotation while Zach Grimmett has been moved to the bullpen. The two paired up in Friday's win as de Leon pitched four innings giving up three runs on two hits and two walks, while Zach Grimmett (W, 2-3) pitching 3.1 innings giving up no runs on two hits and two walks. Andrew Robinson and Kirk Clark took it the rest of the way, with Clark recording his fifth save of the season. Rene Garcia was the only starter not to record a hit as the Jethawks recorded 13 hits for the night. George Springer was back in the lineup looking no worse for wear from being hit by a pitch earlier this week as he went 2x5 with a stolen base and scored twice. Also with two hit nights were Adam Bailey, Domingo Santana (2 RBI), Ben Heath (RBI) and Kike Hernandez (RBI). Lancaster has now won four straight, are two games over .500 and are tied for first place in their division.
GAME OF THE DAY
Lexington over Kannapolis 7-3
What went right: Ordosgoitti and Quevedo provided a good one-two punch from the pitching mound and Brandon Meredith kicked it into overdrive.
The still 19-year old Luis Ordosgoitti settled in nicely after allowing two runs in the first as he pitched four innings before handing it over to Carlos Quevedo (W, 2-1) who pitched a terrific four innings and got a much deserved win. Quevedo is proving himself to be an extremely valuable long relief pitcher, probably the most underappreciated position in all of baseball. John Hinson had a terrific night at the plate, but it was Brandon Meredith's 4x5, two RBI performance that was particularly good to see as he's struggled to get his batting average up since coming to Lexington. Delino DeShields stole his 25th bag of the season.
Luis Ordosgoitte - 4IP 6H 2R 3BB 3SO
Carlos Quevedo - 4IP 3H 1R 0BB 6SO
Murilo Gouvea - 1IP 0H 0R 0BB 2SO
Delino DeShields -1x5 2RBI 2SO SB
John Hinson - 2x6 2-2B 3RBI 2SO R
Brandon Meredith - 4x5 2B 2RBI
Roberto Pena - 2x5 R
Chris Epps - 1x2 3BB 2R
What went wrong:
PITCHER OF THE DAY
I'm sending the Pitcher of the Day love to long reliever Carlos Quevedo.
PLAYER OF THE DAY
It's a tie. Brandon Meredith (4x5) and John Hinson (3 RBI) share the honors.
