The Astros' upper-level affiliates did battle with their counterparts from the A's system on Tuesday.
Las Vegas 19, Round Rock 9
W- Miguel Romero (2-0)
L- Brandon Bielak (0-1, 3-1 season)
RR home runs: Kyle Tucker 2 (18; solo in 5th, solo in 7th), Yordan Alvarez (22, 3-run in 1st), Taylor Jones (11, solo in 8th)
Well... this probably wasn't the start to their roadtrip that the Express envisioned.
At least Yordan Alvarez homered. He now has 22 home runs on the season. Kyle Tucker also homered. Twice! He now has 18 home runs. Taylor Jones also hit a home run to give him 11 on the season. Alex De Goti finished 3-5, a home run shy of the cycle, and scored twice.
The pitchers got battered as they allowed all 19 runs in the first four innings. Ralph Garza Jr. brought some semblance of order as he struck out four over two perfect innings and Lorenzo Quintana worked around a hit to throw a scoreless 8th.
Akeem Bostick will face Parker Dunshee in game two. First pitch is at 7:05 Pacific.
Midland 4, Corpus Christi 2
W- Zack Erwin (3-2)
L- Carlos Sanabria (3-1, 5-1 season)
S- Kyle Finnegan (7)
CC home runs: None.
The RockHounds scored three in the top of the 8th to snatch this game from the Hooks' grasp.
Corpus got their two runs in the 3rd on a pair of RBI singles from Abraham Toro and Seth Beer. Toro finished 2-4 on the evening.
Brandon Bailey allowed four hits and struck out two over five shutout innings. Unfortunately, the bullpen made a hash of things to finish out the game. Miguel Figueroa allowed a run on two hits in the 6th. Carlos Sanabria got 1.1 innings and he allowed three unearned runs (two inherited runners charged to him), a hit, walked two, and struck out two. Colin McKee allowed a hit and struck out one in 1.2 innings.
Carson LaRue will start the series finale and he'll take on Brian Howard at 6:15.
Winston-Salem 7, Fayetteville 5
W- John Parke (3-2)
L- J.P. France (1-5)
S- José Nin (5)
Fayetteville home runs: Marty Costes (1, 3 season; 3-run in 1st)
The Woodpeckers fell behind 6-0 after one half-inning and they nearly managed to erase it before ultimately falling short. Four errors did not help their cause and as a result, they got swept.
They got three of those runs back in the bottom of the 1st when Marty Costes whacked his first Carolina League home run. Costes scored on a single from Scott Manea in the 6th. The Woodpeckers loaded the bases in the 9th but all they could get out of it was a Colton Shaver RBI walk. Costes finished 2-4 on the night.
J.P. France failed to get out of the first inning. He allowed five unearned runs on three hits, one of which was a grand slam, walked one, and the two outs he recorded both came via the strikeout. Tanner Duncan was the first man out of the Fayetteville bullpen and he allowed two runs on two hits (solo homer), walked one, and struck out three in 2.2 innings. Leovanny Rodríguez followed with three scoreless innings, allowing three hits and striking out two. César Rosado allowed a hit and struck out four over the final 2.2 innings.
The Woodpeckers have Wednesday off as they head up to Wilmington, Delaware, where they'll start a four-game series with the Blue Rocks on Thursday.
Peoria 12, Quad Cities 5
W- Colin Schmid (3-1)
L- José Bravo (0-1, 2-2 season)
QC home runs: Ross Adolph (3, 2-run in 6th)
The Banditos got out to a quick start but the Chiefs swiftly seized control of this game. This series is being played in Peoria because the flood waters are still hanging around Modern Woodmen Park.
Quad Cities got three in the 1st on an RBI single from David Hensley and a two-run single from Michael Wielansky. Ross Adolph went 2-4 and smacked a two-run home run in the 6th inning.
José Bravo went three innings and allowed seven runs on six hits (two and three-run homers), walked two, and struck out one. Joey Gonzalez was the first man out of the Quad Cities bullpen and he allowed a run on a solo homer, one other hit, walked one, and struck out four in two innings. Jayson Schroeder was next and in 1.1 innings, he allowed two runs on two hits, walked three, and struck out two. Devin Conn allowed two runs on three hits, walked two, and struck out two in 2.2 innings.
Game two of this home series in the opponent's ballpark starts at 6:35.
DSL Astros 2, DSL Rays1 0
W- Jeremy Molero (1-0)
L- Justino Dominguez (0-1)
S- Ricardo León (1)
