What the Heck, Bobby?: Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Tuesday, June 25, 2019

Well, this isn't going to be fun.

San Antonio 10, Round Rock 2

W- Thomas Jankins (7-2)
L- Akeem Bostick (4-4)

RR home runs: None.

The Missions scored three in both the 7th and the 8th innings to turn what had been a 4-2 game into a laugher.

Round Rock's only two runs of this one came on a pair of RBI singles from A.J. Reed and Taylor Jones in the 2nd.

Akeem Bostick went five innings and allowed four runs on five hits, walked one, and struck out five. Joe Smith, Kit Scheetz, and Brendan McCurry all worked one inning. Smith worked around a walk to throw a scoreless 6th. Scheetz and McCurry... didn't fare as well. I think I'll leave it at that.

José Urquidy takes on Corbin Burnes in game two of this series. First pitch is at 7:05.

Texas League All-Star Game

The Red Sox tied it in the 8th and walked off with the win in the 10th.

Fayetteville's two runs came courtesy of the two solo home runs you see above. They only had two other hits: a double from Ruben Castro and a Jacob Meyers single. Meyers also stole a base, giving him eight on the year.
