Rain, rain, go away...
Fresno 9, Iowa 1
W- Cy Sneed (9-5)
L- Casey Coleman (2-2)
S- Kent Emanuel (1)
Fresno home runs: Garrett Stubbs (3, 3-run in 2nd), D.J. Fisher (9, 2-run in 2nd), Jack Mayfield (10, 2-run in 4th)
A couple of big innings allowed the Grizzlies to cruise to a victory.
Cy Sneed also turned in a nice outing, which definitely helped. Sneed allowed three hits, walked two, and struck out four over six shutout innings. The I-Cubs spoiled the shutout with a run off of Kent Emanuel in the 9th. Emanuel pitched the final three innings and allowed three hits, walked one, and struck out four.
Jack Mayfield walked to lead off the 2nd. He moved to third on a Yordan Alvarez single and scored the game's first run on a Myles Straw single. One batter later, Garrett Stubbs smacked a homer and the rout was on. Tony Nuñez walked, stole second... and got greedy and was thrown out at third. Jake Marisnick drew a walk and then D.J. Fisher whacked a two-run homer to extend Fresno's lead to 6-0. Fisher singled to start the 4th and scored on a Tyler White double. Two batters later, Mayfield launched a two-run homer. Fisher went 3-5 and finished a triple shy of the cycle. A.J. Reed went 2-4.
The Grizzlies will look to sweep the series on Thursday. First pitch is at 7:05 Pacific.
San Antonio 1, Corpus Christi 0
W- Chris Paddack (3-1)
L- Framber Valdez (3-4)
S- Miguel Diaz (3)
CC home runs: None.
The Hooks got shut out and swept out of San Antonio.
Framber Valdez wasn't awful, but he ran up a high pitch count and also allowed the only run of the game. In 4.2 innings, he allowed six hits, walked two, and struck out nine. Justin Ferrell was the first man out of the Corpus bullpen and did not allow a hit in his 2.1 innings; he issued a walk and fanned four. Erasmo Pinales worked around a hit to throw a scoreless 8th, striking out two.
Taylor Jones' double was the Hooks' only extra-base hit on the evening. Alex De Goti, Chas McCormick, and Stephen Wrenn all singled. McCormick now has a 10-game hitting streak.
Corpus will head home to start a four-game series with Midland at 7:05. Ryan Hartman is listed as the Hooks' probable starter for game one.
The doubleheader between Buies Creek and Potomac was postponed
Due to inclement weather. They'll try to play the doubleheader today, with game one starting at 4:00 Eastern. Also, the twinbill will constitute the entire series as this was supposed to be the final series between both clubs. One game has been canceled.
Quad Cities 6, Burlington 5 in 10 innings
W- Luis Garcia (2-2)
L- Anfernee Benítez (3-1)
S- Willy Collado (4)
QC home runs: None.
The only crooked numbers in this game came in the first extra frame. The Banditos broke a 3-3 tie with three in the top of the 10th and then the Bees made things really interesting with a home run that cut the lead to one run. Fortunately, Quad Cities was able to escape with the W.
Leovanny Rodriguez allowed two hits, walked two, and struck out six over five shutout frames. César Rosado was the first man out of the bullpen and went three innings, allowing three runs on seven hits, walking two, and striking out two. The two runs that Luis Garcia allowed in his 1.2 innings came off the homer in the 10th. As the homer occurred in an extra inning, the man on second was charged as an unearned run. Garcia allowed two other hits, walked one, and struck out three. Willy Collado was greeted by an infield single from Torii Hunter, but he buckled down and got that elusive final out with a strikeout.
Quad Cities scored the first three runs of this game: Jonathan Lacroix scored the first run when Scott Schreiber grounded into a force out in the 3rd and then Marty Costes and Chandler Taylor had RBI base hits in the 5th and the 6th, respectively. Schrieber started the 10th in scoring position; he advanced to third on a Seth Beer single and scored the go-ahead run on a single from David Hensley. Beer and Hensley scored when Alfredo Angarita flared a ball down the right field line and kept it just fair. Beer and Hensley both finished 2-5 on the night; Mike Papierski also finished with two hits out of the #8 spot in the order.
Jairo Solís will get the start in game two. He'll take on Oliver Ortega at 6:30.
Tri-City and Auburn was postponed
Due to rain. The series will conclude with a doubleheader beginning at 11:00 AM Eastern. Jayne is satisfied with this development as it has allowed her to catch up on sleep.
DSL Rays1 8, DSL Astros 5
W- Daniel Santana (2-1)
L- Fabricio Reina (3-4)
S- Shuruendy Valeriano (3)
DSL home runs: Victor Mascai (5, 2-run in 4th), Yimmi Cortabarria (2, solo in 8th)
The Rays put up crooked numbers in all of the innings in which they scored to top the Astros in DSL play.
Jherson Pereira allowed two runs on five hits and struck out one in three innings of work. Valente Bellozo worked around a hit to throw a scoreless 4th, striking out one. Fabricio Reina and Franny Cobos both pitched two innings; Reina allowed six runs (five earned, three inherited runners charged to him) on four hits and walked two, while Cobos allowed three hits.
Victor Mascai and Yimmi Cortabarria both finished 2-4 and they were both responsible for the offensive production in this game. Mascai put the Astros on the board when he launched two-run homer in the 4th inning. Cortabarria hit an RBI single in the 6th, Mascai drew a bases-loaded walk in the 7th, and Cortabarria struck again in the 8th with a homer to begin the inning. Abraham Castillo and Javier Bermúdez also finished with two hits on the day.
