Tacoma 4, Fresno 3
W- Bryan Evans (2-1)
L- Ralph Garza Jr. (0-1, 3-1 season)
S- Ryan Cook (3)
Fresno home runs: Yordan Alvarez (1, 13 season; solo in 2nd), Jamie Ritchie (1, solo in 2nd)
The Grizzlies couldn't seem to find the strike zone on Thursday. They held the Rainiers to five hits but they also issued 11 walks on the night. They very nearly snatched the win late but couldn't get the tying run across.
Yordan Alvarez opened the scoring by launching his first AAA home run in the 2nd inning. Two batters later, Jamie Ritchie whacked his first AAA homer and also his first homer of the year. A.J. Reed hit a sac fly in the 8th. Myles Straw finished 4-5 and stole a couple of bases, which gives him 50 thefts on the season.
Cy Sneed allowed a run on a bases-loaded walk, a hit, walked six, and struck out four in his 2.2 innings. Ralph Garza Jr. and Reymin Guduan threw 1.2 innings apiece. Garza was first and he allowed three runs (two earned, one inherited runner charged to him) on two hits, walked two, and struck out three. Guduan allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out four. Riley Ferrell and Buddy Boshers both turned in scoreless innings; Ferrell walked one and struck out one in the 7th, while Boshers walked one and fanned two in the 8th.
Mike Hauschild takes on Ross Detweiler in game two. First pitch is at 7:05 Pacific.
Midland 6, Corpus Christi 5
W- Nolan Blackwood (3-2)
L- Erasmo Pinales (1-3)
CC home runs: None.
The RockHounds stunned the Hooks by launching two home runs with two outs in the bottom of the 9th to walk off with the win.
Chas McCormick led off the game with a base hit. He proceeded to steal second and then scored the first run of the evening when Stephen Wrenn smacked a triple. Wrenn wound up scoring on a Randy César sac fly. César ripped an RBI double in the 4th and he later scored on a Ryne Birk sac fly. Birk doubled to lead off the 9th and scored on a wild pitch. McCormick, Josh Rojas, and Alex De Goti all finished with two hits on the night. McCormick also stole a base, which gives him five thefts with Corpus Christi and 12 on the year.
Brandon Bielak allowed an unearned run on six hits, walked one, and struck out five in five innings. In his Texas League debut, Hector Perez went two innings and allowed a run on three hits while striking out two. Erasmo Pinales threw a scoreless 8th... and I'm sure that he'd like a neuralizer treatment after that 9th inning.
Framber Valdez will get the start in game three of this series. First pitch is at 7:00.
Buies Creek 2, Down East 0
W- Brandon Bailey (4-8)
L- Emerson Martinez (4-9)
S- Tommy DeJuneas (1, 2 season)
BC home runs: None.
The Carolina Stros kept the Wood Ducks off the board to earn a split in the latest iteration of the Lone Star Series in North Carolina.
Brandon Bailey started things off by allowing three hits, walking one, and striking out six over five shutout frames. Brett Adcock tagged in for three innings and allowed two hits while striking out four, and in his system debut, Tommy DeJuneas struck out one in a 1-2-3 9th.
Bryan de la Cruz reached on an error in the 1st that also allowed Jake Meyers and Osvaldo Duarte to score. Those were the only two runs of the game. Meyers finished 2-4 with a double.
Buies Creek will start a four-game series in Winston-Salem at 7:00 Eastern.
Quad Cities 4, Dayton 3
W- Parker Mushinski (4-2)
L- Cory Thompson (4-3)
S- Tanner Duncan (4, 5 season)
QC home runs: None.
There was some shambolic defense being played in this one as the two teams combined for nine errors. The Dragons doubled up the Banditos in that category...
Peter Solomon had an unearned run charged to him thanks to an error in his five innings of work. He also allowed a hit, walked two, and struck out five. Parker Mushinski allowed two runs on a homer, two other hits, issued an intentional walk, and struck out two in three innings. Tanner Duncan shut the door by striking out one in a 1-2-3 9th.
Marty Costes walked to lead off the 2nd and David Hensley joined him on the bases after a base hit. They both scored on an error that saw Mike Papierski reach and advance to second base. Papierski scored in the 4th when Alfredo Angarita grounded into a force out. Angarita put Quad Cities back in front when he ripped an RBI double in the 8th inning. Miguelangel Sierra finished 2-5 with a double; the Banditos won despite going 0-16 with runners in scoring position.
César Rosado struck out a career-high 12 in his previous start; what will he have in store as he takes the mound for the series finale? He'll face Wendolyn Bautista at 6:00 Eastern.
Tri-City 5, Williamsport 3
W- Brett Conine (1-0)
L- Ethan Lindow (0-1)
S- Hansel Paulino (1)
TC home runs: None.
The ValleyCats staved off a late uprising from the Crosscutters to even the series.
Luis Encarnación opened the scoring when he whacked a homer to lead off the 3rd inning. Austin Dennis smacked an RBI double in the 4th and added an RBI single to his ledger in the 6th. Carlos Machado added a sac fly later in the 6th. Alex McKenna, who scored on that sac fly, went 3-4 and ripped an RBI triple in the 7th. Dennis's two hits resulted in runs, and Jeremy Peña went 2-3 with three runs scored and a couple of walks.
Shawn Dubin started it off with three scoreless innings, allowing a hit and striking out two. Brett Conine walked two and struck out one over 2.2 no-hit innings. Mark Moclair was cruising along until he hit the wall in the 8th inning. He allowed three runs (one inherited runner charged to him) on three hits, walked one, and struck out five in 1.2 innings. Eleven of the last twelve outs that Moclair has recorded have been strikeouts. Hansel Paulino also threw 1.2 innings and allowed a sac fly that allowed one of Moclair's runners to score and he also issued a walk.
The rubber game of this series will start at 7:05 Eastern.
GCL Astros 6, GCL Nationals 1
W- Matt Ramsey (1-0, 3-1 season)
L- Carlos Cuello (0-2)
GCL home runs: None.
A late outburst spurred the Palm Beach Stros to a win over their complex mates.
A couple of Fresno pitchers started it off with rehab appearances. David Paulino allowed a hit and struck out three over three scoreless innings and Matt Ramsey started his rehab stint by navigating out of a bases-loaded jam in the 4th. He allowed three hits and struck out one. Kyle Serrano struck out two in a 1-2-3 5th. Angel Macuare allowed a run on four hits and struck out three in three innings, and Jervic Chavez worked around a hit and a walk to throw a scoreless 9th, striking out one.
Nathan Perry had a solid day at the plate as he finished 3-4, opening the scoring with a double in the 4th inning. The GCLstros got two in the 6th on a sac fly from Freudis Nova and Perry later added an RBI single to his ledger. Carlos Diaz grounded into a force out that allowed Yeuris Ramirez to score in the 7th and they got two more in the 8th when Wilyer Abreu scored on a passed ball and Juan Ramirez capped off the day with an RBI single.
DSL Astros 8, DSL Braves 7 in 11 innings
W- Cristofer Mezquita (1-1)
L- Carlos Caminero (0-2)
DSL home runs: None.
The Academy walked off with the win thanks to three in the bottom of the 11th.
Alfredi Jimenez allowed a hit and struck out four over three scoreless innings. He was the only DSLstros pitcher to turn in a scoreless outing. Franny Cobos was the first man out of the DSL bullpen and he went two innings, allowing a run on two hits, walking two, and striking out three. Alex Blanco came on for the 6th but only got two outs, one via strikeout; the Braves got to him for a couple of runs on a wild pitch and a fielder's choice. Blanco also allowed a hit and walked three. He left two men on for Jherson Pereira, who spared him from further damage. Pereira went 2.1 innings and allowed a run on three hits and walked two. Jeremy Molero was next and he allowed an unearned run on a single, walked one, and struck out three. Cristofer Mezquita allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits, walked one, and struck out two in the top of the 11th.
Abraham Castillo led off the 2nd with a double and an error on the play allowed him to advance to third. He scored the first run of the day on a sac fly from Ricardo Toro. Franklin Pinto scored on an error in the 3rd as he took advantage of an errant throw from the catcher as Enmanuel Morillo took second. In the 5th, Jonarkys Lopez scored on a wild pitch and Jose Mendoza scored on a Yefri Carrillo groundout. That would be the last time that the Astros would score until extra innings.
Carrillo started the 10th in scoring position; he moved to third on a bad pickoff attempt and scored on a single from Morillo. Jose Alvarez started the 11th at second and didn't have to wait too long to score as Mendoza led off the inning with an RBI base hit. Pinto drew a walk but was forced out at second. Carrillo stole second, however. Mendoza scored the tying run on a Jeury Castillo groundout and Victor Mascai won it with an RBI single.
Morillo and Mendoza both went 2-4 on the day. Carrillo stole a couple of bases, giving him nine on the year.
