Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Sunday, June 10, 2018

Fresno 12, Oklahoma City 8

W- Rogelio Armenteros (4-0)
L- Guillermo Moscoso (2-4)

Fresno home runs: A.J. Reed 2 (15, 2-run in 3rd, 3-run in 6th), Kyle Tucker (9, solo in 1st), J.D. Davis (5, solo in 3rd), D.J. Fisher (3, solo in 3rd)

The Grizzlies provided some Sunday night fireworks in the form of five home runs. The Dodgers wouldn't go down easily, though.

Rogelio Armenteros went six innings and allowed two runs on five hits, walked three, and struck out three. Kent Emanuel got roughed up in the 7th and I will not elaborate any further. Andrew Thome allowed a hit and got the last out of the 7th. The one run that Brendan McCurry allowed in his 2.1 innings came on a homer hit by Edwin Rios, who tagged Emanuel for a grand slam in OKC's big 7th inning. McCurry struck out one.

Everyone in the lineup chipped in with a hit. Reed, Davis, and Fisher hit back-to-back-to-back home runs in the 3rd inning.


Josh James, coming off a start in which he struck out a career-high 13 batters, will get the start in the finale. He'll take on Caleb Ferguson at 7:05 Pacific.

Corpus Christi 8, San Antonio 2

W- Corbin Martin (3-1, 5-1 season)
L- Jason Jester (2-1)

CC home runs: None.

Corpus busted this game open with a seven-run 7th inning.

Jorge Alcala dominated in his first Texas League start; he had made two relief appearances since his promotion. Alcala allowed just one hit, walked one, and struck out five over five shutout frames; he retired the first 11 men he faced. Corbin Martin pitched the last four innings and allowed two runs on two hits (solo homer) and struck out four.

Alex De Goti walked to lead off the 5th and he eventually scored the first run of the night on a Chas McCormick sac fly. The real fun began in the 7th.

Lorenzo Quintana led things off with a walk and moved to third on a McCormick double. Aníbal Sierra put the Hooks back in front with an RBI single. Myles Straw legged out a bunt single that scored McCormick. The threat was on the verge of ending early when Josh Rojas and Taylor Jones went down, but Randy César came through with a two-run double. Stephen Wrenn took César's place at second after bringing him in with a double, and then De Goti found himself on second after he ripped a double to score Wrenn. Quintana made another trip to the plate and he drove in Corpus Christi's final run of the evening on... you guessed it, a double. César and Quintana both finished 2-3; César singled with two outs in the 4th to extend his hitting streak to 32 games.

Cionel Perez will take the mound for game three. First pitch is at 7:05.

Down East 4, Buies Creek 2

W- Emerson Martinez (4-5)
L- Gabriel Valdez (2-3)
S- Jairo Beras (1)

BC home runs: None.

The Carolina Stros were foiled in their bid to sweep this latest iteration of the Lone Star Series in North Carolina.

Gabriel Valdez went five innings and allowed three runs on five hits (two-run homer), walked one, and struck out four. Colin McKee allowed a run on three hits, walked one, and struck out two in three innings of relief.

Ronnie Dawson ripped an RBI double to open the scoring in the 1st inning. The other scoring play came in the 7th when Jonathan Arauz hit an RBI infield single. Jake Adams (2B) and Osvaldo Duarte (2 2B, R) both finished 2-4 on the day.

Buies Creek will start a three-game series with the Carolina Mudcats. First pitch is at 6:00 Eastern.

Quad Cities 9, Peoria 0

W- Peter Solomon (3-1)
L- Evan Guillory (6-4)

QC home runs: Colton Shaver (7, solo in 1st), Cody Bohanek (4, solo in 9th)

The Banditos dominated the Chiefs in every facet of the game on Sunday.

Peter Solomon shackled the Chiefs for seven innings, allowing three hits, walking one, and striking out seven. Carlos Sanabria allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out one over the last two innings to complete the shutout.

Colton Shaver smacked a solo homer in the 1st to open the scoring. Cody Bohanek kept the 4th inning alive with a single and dashed home on an Alfredo Angarita triple. The Banditos busted this one open with four runs in the 5th.

Shaver walked and Corey Julks singled to lead things off. Shaver scored when Bryan de la Cruz ripped a double. Adrian Tovalin followed with an RBI single, which forced Peoria to make a pitching change. Jonathan Lacroix got plunked to load the bases, but Quad Cities' threat was on the verge of going empty as Mike Papierski popped out on the infield fly rule and Bohanek went down on strikes, but Angarita came through with a two-run double; Lacroix was thrown out at home. Tovalin added a two-run triple to his ledger in the 6th and Bohanek capped off the day with a solo homer to lead off the 9th.

Tovalin finished 3-4 on the afternoon. Shaver, Julks, de la Cruz, Bohanek, and Angarita had two hits apiece.

Jairo Solis will get the start in the series finale and he'll take on Jesús Cruz at noon.
