Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Friday, May 17, 2019

Nashville 9, Round Rock 3

W- Tim Dillard (2-2)
L- Cy Sneed (1-5)

RR home runs: Derek Fisher (7, solo in 9th)

The Sounds jumped out to an early 5-0 lead and that deficit proved to be too much for Round Rock to overcome.

Derek Fisher finished 3-5 and scored two of the three Express runs in this game. He scored on Yordan Alvarez's RBI single in the 3rd and then smacked a solo homer in the 9th inning. Myles Straw preceded Yordan's RBI single with an RBI base hit of his own. Alvarez and Alex De Goti both finished with two hits apiece.

The pitching got peppered to death in this one as 11 of Nashville's 12 hits were singles.

Cy Sneed only lasted 1.2 innings as he allowed three runs on four hits, walked three, and struck out one. Ralph Garza Jr. got Sneed out of a bases-loaded predicament unscathed, but Nashville ended up getting to him as well. In 1.1 innings, Garza allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits, walked one, and struck out two. Forrest Whitley came on for four innings and he allowed four runs on six hits, walked two, and struck out four. Brendan McCurry got the last two innings and struck out two in a perfect outing.

Ryan Hartman faces Seth Maness in game three of this series. First pitch is at 6:05.

Corpus Christi 1, Midland 0

W- Gabriel Valdez (2-2)
L- Daulton Jeffries (0-3)
S- Carlos Sanabria (2, 3 season)

CC home runs: None.

There was only one run in this game and fortunately, it belonged to the Corpus Christi Hooks. Midland had plenty of chances for their own but they were thwarted with some fine defensive work.

Carmen Benedetti made a catch at the wall in the 5th and then with two outs and runners on the corners, Ronnie Dawson ended the inning by running down a ball in the gap. With runners on the corners and two outs in the 7th, Dawson made a diving stop to rob Greg Deichmann of extra bases and keep the Hounds off the board.

Tyler Ivey allowed two hits, walked three, and struck out six in four innings of work. Gabriel Valdez was the first man out of the Hooks bullpen and he allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out one in three innings. Carlos Sanabria completed the shutout by walking one and striking out two over the final two innings.

Granden Goetzman's sac fly in the 2nd was the only scoring play in this game. Abraham Toro, who scored that one run, finished 2-3.

Carson LaRue gets the start in game three and he'll face Matt Milburn at 7:00.

Carolina 9, Fayetteville 2

W- Dylan File (4-3)
L- J.P. France (0-4)

Fayetteville home runs: None.

A couple of big early innings from the Mudcats doomed the Woodpeckers.

J.P. France pitched three innings and allowed seven runs (five earned) on eight hits (2-run homer), walked two, and struck out three. Nick Hernandez was the first man out of the bullpen and he allowed a run, a hit, walked one, and struck out six in 2.2 innings. The run was an inherited runner that scored off a two-run home run that Leovanny Rodríguez allowed in the 6th. Leovanny went two innings and allowed two other hits while striking out five. Jacob Billingsley struck out one over 1.1 perfect innings.

Jonathan Arauz went 2-4 and hit an RBI single in the 4th. Corey Julks had a sac fly in the 5th.

Game two of this series begins at 5:00 Eastern.

Peoria 8, Quad Cities 0

W- Collin Schmid (1-0)
L- José Alberto Rivera (0-1)

QC home runs: None.

All of the scoring in this game was done in one inning... by the Chiefs.

José Bravo allowed five hits, walked one, and struck out two over five shutout innings. José Alberto Rivera came on for his season debut but I'm sure he'd like a mulligan. Riley Cabral was called upon to pick up the mess but he bored his share of Peoria's assault in the 6th. In 1.2 innings, Cabral allowed three runs on four hits, walked three, and struck out two. Devin Conn worked around a couple of walks to throw a scoreless 8th inning.

One night after scoring 21, all Quad Cities could muster up were singles from Austin Dennis, Alex McKenna, Marty Costes, David Hensley, and César Salazar.

R.J. Freure goes up against Kyle Leahy at 6:35.
