Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Monday, July 16, 2018

Sacramento 4, Fresno 3

W- Tyler Beede (4-8)
L- Reymin Guduan (3-3)
S- Pierce Johnson (2)

Fresno home runs: None.

The Grizzlies got nipped by a run in the 8th. They were also not very satisfied with home plate umpire Clay Park as their feud was re-ignited.

D.J. Fisher and Nick Tanielu made their displeasure known about Park's strike zone; Park was clearly not receptive to their criticism and tossed them both from the game. Fisher's night ended in the 3rd and Tanielu joined him in the 6th. Rogelio Armenteros was also not pleased and let Park know about it in a more subtle fashion.

Armenteros turned in a bare minimum quality start, allowing nine hits and striking otu six. Reymin Guduan allowed the go-ahead run on four hits and struck out one in 1.2 innings, and Riley Ferrell retired all four Rivercats he faced, striking out two.

All three Fresno runs came in the 4th as J.D. Davis smacked a two-run double; he came around to score on a Tony Nuñez single. Nuñez went 3-4 with a stolen base (7); Jamie Ritchie finished 2-4 with a double and scored a run on Davis' two-bagger.

Josh James takes on Daniel Camarena in game two of this series. First pitch is at 7:05 Pacific.

Frisco 5, Corpus Christi 3

W- Justin Topa (1-2)
L- Akeem Bostick (1-3)
S- Cole Wiper (1)

CC home runs: None.

A three-run homer from Destin Hood in the 6th condemned the Hooks to a defeat on Monday night.

Corpus got on the board in the first as Andy Piñeda and Chas McCormick both scored on wild pitches. Piñeda scored again in the 8th when Carmen Benedetti drew a bases-loaded walk.

Piñeda and McCormick both finished with two hits and a stolen base on the night. For Piñeda, that is is his first theft of the season, while McCormick now has 13 on the year.

Akeem Bostick went six innings and allowed five runs on seven hits (three-run homer), walked three, and struck out four. Alex Winkelman allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out five over three scoreless innings.

Jorge Alcala will get the nod for game three. He'll face Ariel Jurado at 7:05.

Winston-Salem 12, Buies Creek 10 in 10 innings

W- Daniel Gonzalez (1-0)
L- Colin McKee (1-1, 4-2 season)

BC home runs: Osvaldo Duarte (7, solo in 5th)

The Carolina Stros saw an 8-2 lead vanish and they eventually walked off with the loss after the Dash hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 10th.

Jake Meyers and Osvaldo Duarte had big nights at the plate for Buies Creek as they, along with Bryan de la Cruz, finished with three hits in the contest. Meyers doubled to lead off the game and Duarte opened the scoring by bringing him in with a single. Meyers drove in a run with a sac fly in the 2nd inning. The Carolina Stros scored twice in the 4th as Chuckie Robinson hit an RBI single and Meyers added an RBI double to his ledger.

Duarte led off the 5th with a homer and then Jake Adams smacked a two-run double in the 7th. An error on the play allowed Adams to advance to third and he came home on Robinson's second RBI base hit of the evening. J.J. Matijevic hit a two-run single in the first extra frame that briefly gave Buies Creek the lead. Adams and Robinson had two hits apiece in this game.

Abdiel Saldaña went 4.1 innings and allowed two runs, both of which were inherited runners that were charged to him. He also allowed three hits, walked two, and struck out four. Jesús Balaguer got the final two outs of the 5th and he technically turned in a scoreless outing, but Saldaña's two baserunners scored on his watch. Balaguer allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out one. Patrick Sandoval and Colin McKee had to bear the brunt of the Winston-Salem assault in this one...

Buies Creek has Tuesday off as they head back to Campbell. The Salem Red Sox are in town for three starting Wednesday.

Bowling Green 6, Quad Cities 5

W- Orlando Romero (3-0)
L- Tanner Duncan (2-2)

QC home runs: Chandler Taylor (3, solo in 6th)

Both teams scored in three separate innings; the difference was the Hot Rods scoring two runs in three innings, while Quad Cities scored two runs in two separate innings and only one run in another. The Banditos pitchers were all over the place as they issued ten walks on the day.

Chad Donato and Enoli Paredes both pitched three innings on the afternoon. Donato hit his first speed bump of the year as he allowed four runs (two inherited runners charged to him) on four hits, walked five, and struck out five. Paredes didn't allow a hit, but he walked three, struck out five, and allowed two of the three runners he inherited from Donato to score. Tanner Duncan allowed two of everything in his two innings. He also struck out... two.

Marty Costes doubled to lead off the 2nd and scored the first run of the day on an error that also allowed David Hensley to reach. Hensley smacked a two-run double in the 4th. Chandler Taylor led off the 6th with a homer and Mike Papierski added an RBI single later in the frame. Seth Beer finished 2-4 with a double and scored a run.

Quad Cities has Tuesday off as they make their way back home. They'll start a three-game series with the South Bend Cubs on Wednesday.

Tri-City 2, State College 1

W- Nivaldo Rodriguez (1-1)
L- Kevin Hamann (0-1)
S- Tim Hardy (3)

TC home runs: None.

The ValleyCats are heading out of Penn State with a sweep thanks to a run in the 9th that broke a 1-1 tie.

Carlos Hiraldo and Nivaldo Rodriguez both threw four innings for Tri-City; Hiraldo allowed the Spikes' only run on four hits, walked one, and struck out three. Nivaldo turned in a scoreless outing, allowing three hits and striking out two. Tim Hardy worked around a couple of walks in the 9th to close it out, striking out two.

Ramiro Rodriguez walked to lead off the 5th and advanced to third thanks to an errant pickoff attempt. Carlos Machado brought him in with a sac fly. Michael Wielansky singled with one out in the 9th and he wound up scoring the winning run on a base hit from Oscar Campos. Tri-City did not record an extra-base hit in this game.

The ValleyCats are back in the Capital District and they will start a three-game series with the Brooklyn Cyclones at 7:00 Eastern.

GCL Astros 3, GCL Marlins 2 in 10 innings

W- Fredy Medina (1-0)
L- Cason Sherrod (1-2)

GCL home runs: Ronaldo Urdaneta (1, 2-run in 8th)

Ronaldo Urdaneta launched a game-tying two-run homer in the 8th and the Palm Beach Stros walked off with the win in the first extra frame. Hector Martinez started the 10th in scoring position and scored the winning run when Cason Sherrod went full aggy (apologies to any Aggies reading this). Juan Ramirez laid down a sacrifice bunt and Sherrod threw the ball away after fielding it, which allowed Martinez to come home.

Matt Ramsey allowed a double in the 1st which ended up becoming an unearned run due to an error. Ramsey also struck out one in his two innings. Jose Bravo allowed two hits and struck out one over three scoreless innings of work. Javier Navas allowed a run on a sac fly that turned into an inning-ending double play, a single, and walked one in the 6th. Fredy Medina allowed a hit, walked two, and struck out six in four scoreless innings.

DSL Astros 2, DSL Red Sox1 1 in 7 innings

W- Ricardo León (2-1)
L- Miguel Suero (2-1)
S- Diosmerky Taveras (2)

DSL home runs: None.

This game was called with one out in the top of the 8th due to rain.

Abraham Castillo hit a two-run single in the 1st inning for the Academy. Jairo Lopez allowed three hits and struck out one over four scoreless innings. Ricardo León didn't allow a hit and also struck out two in his 2.2 innings, but he allowed a run and also issued five walks. Ronny Garcia got the final out of the 6th. Diosmerky Taveras got the first out of the 7th and walked the bases loaded before play was halted.
