Let's play two in Myrtle Beach!
El Paso 9, Fresno 5
W- Kyle McGrath (3-2)
L- Brock Dykxhoorn (2-1, 4-1 season)
Fresno home runs: Kyle Tucker (12, solo in 1st), Nick Tanielu (2, 6 season; 3-run in 2nd)
The Grizzlies got out to a quick 4-0 lead as Kyle Tucker and Nick Tanielu both homered for the second consecutive evening, but the Chihuahuas bit back ferociously and mauled them with a six-run 3rd and a three-run 4th to take control.
Tucker's solo shot opened the scoring. One inning later, Tanielu whacked a three-run homer. Tim Federowicz ripped an RBI double in the 5th, one of two doubles that he recorded on the night. Federowicz was the only man in the Fresno lineup to record a multi-hit game.
No Fresno pitcher threw three innings in this one. Brock Dykxhoorn went 2.1 innings and allowed six runs on seven hits (two-run homer), walked one, and struck out two. Ralph Garza Jr. was the first man out of the bullpen and he allowed three runs on three hits, walked one, and struck out two in 2.2 innings. Buddy Boshers allowed three hits and fanned five in two scoreless innings of work, and Reymin Guduan worked around a couple of walks to throw a scoreless 8th, striking out two.
What will Cy Sneed have up his sleeve after the best start of his professional career? He'll get the start in game four of this series. First pitch is at 7:05 Mountain.
Texas League All-Star Game
The 82nd Texas League All-Star Game ended in a 2-2 tie. No, seriously. Nine innings was not enough to determine a winner, so they went to a home run derby. Again, I'm not joking.
Randy César went 0-2 with a strikeout, but fortunately for him, this exhibition game does not snap his 41-game hitting streak. Josh Rojas and Alex De Goti both came on in the 6th inning; Rojas took over in left field for Josh Naylor and De Goti took César's place at third. Rojas went 0-2 with a strikeout and De Goti lined out to third and drew a walk. Taylor Jones got the start at first base and went 2-4 with a double in the game. He also hit the winning home run in the sudden-death home run derby...

The Hooks pitchers all got an inning of work in this game. Ryan Hartman was the second pitcher to appear for the South Division and he worked around a hit to throw a scoreless 2nd, striking out two. Corbin Martin threw a 1-2-3 4th inning. Framber Valdez came on for Martin in the 5th and allowed a hit and fanned two in a scoreless outing. Cionel Perez struck out one in a 1-2-3 7th.
The Corpus Christi Hooks will spend Wednesday on the road as they get set to start their tour of Arkansas. They will play three against the Arkansas Travelers beginning on Thursday.
Game 1: Buies Creek 4, Myrtle Beach 2
W- Brett Adcock (4-3)
L- Tyson Miller (6-6)
S- Jesús Balaguer (1)
BC home runs: None.
Buies Creek only scored in one inning, but it was enough for them to get the victory in game one of this twinbill.
All four of the Carolina Stros' runs in game one came in the 4th inning as Cody Bohanek opened the scoring with an RBI single. Bryan de la Cruz hit into a force out attempt that was botched, allowing Osvaldo Duarte to come home with another run. One batter later, Jake Adams ripped a two-run double. Corey Julks and Duarte finished with two hits apiece.
Brady Rodgers allowed four hits and struck out two over three scoreless innings. Brett Adcock's command and control completely deserted him; he allowed two runs (one inherited runner charged to him) and walked six in 1.2 innings. Jesús Balaguer pitched the final 2.1 innings and allowed an RBI double that allowed one of Adcock's runners to score, walked two, and struck out two.
How would the Carolina Stros fare in the nightcap?
Game 2: Buies Creek 6, Myrtle Beach 0
W- Hector Perez (3-2)
L- Bryan Hudson (4-7)
BC home runs: None.
The Carolina Stros got the doubleheader sweep as Hector Perez pitched in every inning in a baseball game for the first time in his professional career in game two. Okay, it was a seven-inning game, but it still goes in the books as a complete game.
Perez allowed seven hits and struck out eight as he went the distance. All but one of the hits he gave up were singles.
Buies Creek scored three in the 1st and three more in the 4th. Abraham Toro scored the first run on a wild pitch and Bryan de la Cruz tacked on a two-run single. All three Buies Creek runs in the 4th came on another wild pitch and an error: De La Cruz, Carlos Canelón, and Jonathan Arauz all scored on some shambolic pitching and defense from the Pelicans. Jake Meyers, Cody Bohanek, and Duarte all finished with two hits in the second game.
Cristian Javier will face Alex Lange in game three of this series. First pitch is at 7:05 Eastern.
Wisconsin 5, Quad Cities 0
W- Christian Taugner (3-6)
L- Leovanny Rodriguez (2-1)
QC home runs: None.
The Banditos got shackled once again on Tuesday.
David Hensley hit a double. Scott Schreiber, and Marty Costes had the other two Quad Cities hits.
Leovanny Rodriguez went six innings and allowed five runs on five hits (two-run homer), walked two, and struck out seven. Carlos Sanabria walked one and struck out three over 1.2 scoreless, and Brendan Feldmann allowed a hit and struck out two in 1.1 innings of work.
Quad Cities will look to avoid the sweep and get on the scoreboard in this series; they haven't scored in 24 innings. First pitch is at 6:35.
Staten Island 2, Tri-City 0
W- Nolan Martinez (1-0)
L- Hansel Paulino (0-1)
S- Reiver Sanmartin (1)
TC home runs: None.
Two runs were scored in this game. Unfortunately, they did not belong to the ValleyCats, and as a result, they were foiled in their bid to sweep the Baby Bombers. They had runners on second and third with one out in the 9th but couldn't get any of them across.
Jeremy Peña and Trey Dawson both finished 2-4 on the evening.
Jose Luis Hernandez allowed three hits and struck out four over 2.2 scoreless innings. Hansel Paulino was the first man out of the Tri-City bullpen and went 3.1 innings, allowing two runs on five hits, walking one, and striking out three. Riley Cabral and Juan Pablo Lopez both threw scoreless innings; Cabral allowed a hit, issued a walk, and struck out the side in the 7th, while Lopez allowed a hit and fanned one in the 8th.
The ValleyCats have Wednesday off as they travel back upstate. They'll start a three-game set with Hudson Valley on Thursday.
GCL Marlins 8, GCL Astros 7
W- Julio Frias (1-1)
L- Elian Rodriguez (0-1)
S- Tanner Andrews (1)
GCL home runs: None.
The Palm Beach Stros scored five in the 8th to cut the deficit to one run, but they couldn't get that tying run across.
Elian Rodriguez went 2.1 innings and allowed six runs (five earned, one inherited runner charged to him) on four hits, walked three, and struck out three. Jonathan Bermúdez made his pro debut as the first man out of the GCLstros bullpen and allowed an unearned run of his own on four hits in 1.2 innings. Manny Ramirez allowed a run on three hits, walked one, and struck out five in four innings, and Freylin Garcia struck out one in a 1-2-3 9th inning.
Patrick Mathis put the Palm Beach Stros on the board with an RBI double in the 1st and scored on a single from Yeuris Ramirez. All five of the GCLstros' runs in the 8th came with two outs in the inning. Nerio Rodriguez hit a two-run single and Yorbin Ceuta followed with an RBI base hit of his own. Sean Mendoza drew a bases-loaded walk and Freudis Nova legged out an infield single to score another run. Nerio and Mathis both finished with two hits on the afternoon.
DSL Astros 6, DSL Braves 5
W- Wender Oberto (1-1)
L- Jose Olague (1-1)
S- Flaer Gonzalez (2)
DSL home runs: Yimmi Cortabarria (1, solo in 2nd)
The Academy held the Braves to three hits but still had to hang on for the win.
Yimmi Cortabarria smacked a homer to lead off the 2nd inning. Marco van der Wijst scored on a wild pitch later on. Abraham Castillo hit an RBI single in the 3rd, and the Academy got two more in the 4th on a sac fly from Jeury Castillo and an error that allowed Yefri Carrillo to score. Carrillo scored again on a Carlos Hurtado groundout in the 6th. Cortabarria and van der Wijst finished with two hits apiece.
Heitor Tokar plunked two guys and struck out six over four scoreless innings. The two hit batters and a balk were pretty much the only things that went wrong for him on Tuesday. Jose Betances worked around a walk to throw a scoreless 5th. Wender Oberto tagged in for three innings and allowed three runs on three hits, walked four, and struck out two. Jeremy Molero got two outs in the 9th, one via strikeout, but he also issued a couple of walks, hit a couple of guys, and allowed two unearned runs on a wild pitch. One of the HBPs came with the bases loaded. Flaer Gonzalez got the last out of the game without incident.
