A night of debuts... and a beatdown.
Round Rock 10, Nashville 4
W- José Hernández-Urquidy (1-0, 3-2 season)
L- Phillips Valdez (0-5)
RR home runs: Yordan Alvarez 2 (17; 3-run in 1st, solo in 5th), A.J. Reed (2, 2-run in 7th)
Yordan Alvarez continues to do Yordan Alvarez things. His 17 home runs puts him in a tie for the MiLB lead with Austin Riley, who was just promoted to Atlanta a couple of days ago.
Yordan opened the scoring with a three-run blast in the 1st inning and struck again with a solo shot in the 5th. Derek Fisher hit an RBI single in the 6th and A.J. Reed launched a two-run homer in the 7th. Not content with his two homers, Alvarez tacked on a two-run double and then scored on Jack Mayfield's sac fly in the 8th for good measure. He and Fisher both finished 3-5 on the night, while Alex De Goti went 2-4 and scored a couple of runs.
José Hernández-Urquidy went five innings in his Triple-A debut and he allowed three runs on five hits (solo and two-run homers) while striking out eight. Both of the homers and all of the runs he allowed came in the 4th inning. Kent Emanuel and Ronel Blanco pitched two innings apiece; Emanuel allowed two hits, walked two, and struck out one in a scoreless outing, and Blanco allowed a solo homer in the 9th and struck out one.
Cy Sneed takes on Tim Dillard in game two of this series. First pitch is at 7:05.
Midland 6, Corpus Christi 2
W- Angel Duno (2-0)
L- Cristian Javier (0-1, 2-1 season)
CC home runs: Abraham Toro (7, solo in 7th)
Abraham Toro tied this game at 2 with one swing of the bat, but the RockHounds quickly regained control as they took game one of this series out in West Texas.
Toro went 2-4 and his two-run homer in the 7th represented Corpus Christi's only scoring play of the night. Carmen Benedetti finished 2-3 at the bottom of the order.
Brett Adcock pitched five innings and he allowed two runs on three hits, walked three, and struck out one. Cristian Javier received a rude welcome to the Texas League as he allowed four runs on four hits and walked four; one of the hits was a two-run homer and all of the damage that the Hounds inflicted on him came in the 7th. Kit Scheetz allowed a hit and struck out the side in the 8th.
Tyler Ivey faces Daulton Jeffries at 7:00.
Fayetteville 6, Salem 0
W- Enoli Paredes (3-1)
L- Dylan Thompson (0-1)
Fayetteville home runs: Jacob Meyers (4, 3-run in 6th)
Jacob Meyers' huge night at the plate and a four-hit shutout propelled the Woodpeckers past the Red Sox. After dropping the opener, Fayetteville won the next three to take the series.
In his Carolina League debut, Nivaldo Rodríguez allowed two hits, walked four, and struck out six in four innings. Enoli Paredes also threw four innings, allowing two hits, walking two, and striking out six. Tanner Duncan walked one and struck out one in the 9th to complete the shutout.
Nivaldo was all over the place, but it looks like Mother Nature was the culprit, according to Patrick Obley...
Fayetteville loaded the bases in the 1st but only got one run out of it after Scott Manea got plunked, which allowed Jake Adams to come home with the first run of the evening. Jacob Meyers tripled to lead off the 3rd and scored on a double from Colton Shaver. Michael Papierski singled to lead off the 6th; he moved to third on Miguelangel Sierra's double and scored on an error that allowed Alfredo Angarita to reach. One batter later, Meyers capped off the evening with a three-run home run. Meyers finished 3-5 on the night. Shaver and Sierra both finished 2-4.Something interesting his happening with Nivaldo Rodriguez. I think the sun is blinding him. With a runner at 3B, he has to look straight into the sun to track the runner. Turning to home on the pitch, I think he's a bit blinded. Issued a walk and hit a batter & is missing badly— Patrick M.

Fayetteville will begin a three-game series with Carolina at 7:00 Eastern. J.P. France gets the start in game one and he'll go against Dylan File.
Quad Cities 21, Peoria 1
W- Jojanse Torres (3-0)
L- Jacob Schlesener (0-4)
QC home runs: Jeremy Peña (3, solo in 6th), Michael Wielansky (1, 2-run in 7th), Marty Costes (2, 3-run in 9th), David Hensley (2, solo in 9th)
Well, it was nice to know that the Banditos had fun in this one.
Everyone scored.We are having fun.— Quad Cities River Bandits (@QCRiverBandits) May 17, 2019
Jojanse Torres allowed a run for the first time this season when Brady Whalen hit a solo homer against him in the 1st inning. Yes, Quad Cities actually trailed in this game and they ended up finishing it on a 21-0 run. In five innings, Jojanse allowed one other hit and struck out seven. Austin Hansen tagged in for three scoreless, allowing two hits, walking one, and striking out three. Jonathan Bermúdez allowed a hit and fanned two in the 9th.
When José Bravo takes the mound for tonight's game, he will have pitched in at least one game for all four of the Astros' full-season minor league affiliates. I feel like someone has done this more recently, but the first person I can think of who did this and can actually remember doing this is Kyle Hallock, who accomplished this feat in 2013. Bravo will get the start in game two, which will begin at 6:35.
